Love for a Better World: Climate Heroes
Our Equitable Comms team is launching the Climate Heroes series. Through this new series, our goal is to highlight climate and ocean justice leaders—the advocates who dedicate their lives to protecting communities above and below water. Whether working locally, nationally, or globally, these individuals are changemakers who challenge the status quo and inspire us to love for a better world.
Each month going forward, we will spotlight a climate hero who is fighting for climate and ocean justice in their own way. All people who inspire and bring us hope. Stay tuned for more!
