Speaking The Truth: Disrupting the status quo

The youth of today are the climate’s biggest hope and climate-led youth activism is more prominent than ever.   We have to shift the status quo, and to do this we must call out the everyday contributors to environmental damage. Join our panellists as they uncover the systemic flaws we face in creating change and stepping outside our comfort zone.  Lucy Siegle was joined on our Campfire Stage (sponsored by Hydro Flask) for this panel by: Dan Norris - the Metro Mayor for the West of England Nicola Beech - Bristol councillor and cabinet member for Climate, Ecology, Waste and Energy Yasmin Belhadj - Youth Activist from Students Organising for Sustainability And Gabe Davies - European Surf Manager at Patagonia *** The Blue Earth Summit is a movement and community driving positive action for our natural world.  In October 2021, we brought together over 800 changemakers, business leaders, content creators and activists for our inaugural Blue Earth Summit event in Bristol. It involved 2 days of talks, workshops, inspiring conversations and outdoor activities around 3 big ideas:  Living and working sustainably  Protecting our outdoor playgrounds And Inspiring a healthy outlook This podcast shares those ideas with you by bringing you the best talks and panel discussions from Blue Earth Summit Year 1 at The Old Marble Factory To see filmed versions of all these talks and sign up for Blue Earth Summit 2022 visit blueearthsummit.com
