Our planet is warming, our weather is changing. Everyone is talking about the environment and climate change — and honestly it is getting a little scary.
But there is a lot going on actually. Many brilliant scientists, leaders, entrepreneurs, organizers, negotiators, volunteers, and policy makers are working on protecting our planet every single day.
We are here to let them tell their stories and connect with each other, so they can combine their forces and work on this together. Let us be climate heroes and hear the stories, too.
