Climate activism with Kevin Mtai
Emily and Nick call Kevin Mtai a climate activist who helped organise Mock COP. They ask what he hopes to achieve through his activism, the challenges they face as young people, and his recommendations for others who want to take action on the climate crisis.
Kevin faced significant challenges to becoming a climate activist but despite this, has made an impact both nationally and internationally. Take inspiration from his ideas and think about the steps you might take to create a movement for change. Discuss your ideas with a friend of family member.
