CLIMATE
WARRIORS
CLICK BANNER FOR SUBMISSION INFO

What if we gave the next generation the floor to imagine the future?

Meet Coco, the 9-year-old president of the Climate Warriors, alongside four fellow young changemakers, for an inspiring conversation about their vision of the future, what sparked their environmental commitment, and how they experience learning about ecology and sustainability.

Moderated by Dr. Andrée-Anne Lemieux, Director of Sustainability at Institut Français de la Mode (IFM) and Director of the IFM–Kering Sustainability Research Chair, this intergenerational dialogue will explore how children perceive today’s environmental challenges, what inspires them to take action, and what they expect from the adults shaping their tomorrow.

Because the future belongs to them, it’s time to listen to their voices.
