On this edition of Your Call, we get youth reactions to COP26. Young delegates from around the world took to the stage and the streets to demand an urgent response to the climate crisis.
Later in the show, we'll hear from a young climate activist who began a hunger strike on October 20 in front of the White House. Five activists ended the strike on Tuesday with a vow to keep fighting.
Guests:
Julieta Rodrigo, Youth Delegate with Climate Generation, member of YOUNGO, program manager at the CLEO Institute, and certified climate science educator
Ema Govea, youth climate activist from Santa Rosa, California who just ended a two-week hunger strike in DC
