The Next Generation of Climate Warriors: How Gen Z is Following in Greta Thunberg's Footsteps

Writer's picture: David ColelloDavid Colello

You've all heard of Greta Thunberg, the teenage climate activist who's been making waves and headlines with her fierce determination to combat climate change. But did you know that she's not alone in this fight? The next generation of climate warriors is following in her footsteps, and they're not messing around.


Let's start with the OG herself, Greta Thunberg. This young woman has been on a mission to raise awareness about climate change since she was just 15 years old. She's been striking outside of the Swedish parliament, giving speeches at the United Nations, and even sailing across the Atlantic in a zero-emissions sailboat. Talk about dedication.


But Greta's not the only one making waves. Meet Isra Hirsi, the 16-year-old co-founder of the US Youth Climate Strike. She's been organizing strikes and rallies across the country, and even met with members of Congress to advocate for climate action. Or how about Alexandria Villaseñor, a 14-year-old who's been striking outside of the United Nations headquarters every Friday for over a year now.


And these are just a few examples of the incredible young activists out there making a difference. From coastal communities to small towns, Gen Z is standing up for their future and demanding real action on climate change. They're not afraid to speak truth to power, and they're not going to stop until something is done.
