In short: When the scale of the climate crisis feels overwhelming, the first step isn't a policy change—it is a mental one. This talk explores how shifting your mindset can turn powerlessness into action.

Gen-Z activist Clover Hogan addresses the unprecedented climate problem inherited by today's youth and the accompanying eco-anxiety. She argues that the path to meaningful action begins with controlling what is within your power: your own mindset. By challenging the internal narratives that foster a sense of helplessness, individuals can begin the work of protecting the planet for future generations.
