  1. Interesting! Do you know have there been any recent news about this campaign? How are they making themselves heard? How are they tackling the multinational corporations that are fueling climate change?

    1. Yes! After proposing their ideas to 'Global Power Shift', the young leaders receive a fund to take home and implement their projects. A lot of projects are related to a local cause, such as protests against government collusion with fossil fuel companies in Brazil, or Canadians dressed up similar to TransCanada employees in order to get through to the public in their controversial Energy East Pipeline events.
