We’re at an inflection point. COVID-19, the climate crisis, and a global reckoning on racial justice have forced us to rethink normal and created a new world of possibilities. Now it’s time to ask ourselves one simple question. What is the future we want?
Hear from 5 UNSW students and staff who recently trained under Al Gore to become Climate Reality Leaders. They all come from different parts of UNSW but are united in the desire for urgent and effective climate action.

More importantly, it share hopeful signs that the world is rising to meet the challenge of reducing emissions, and provide concrete ways that you can make a difference - at UNSW and beyond.
