Youth Climate Rally Held in San Francisco

The fourth annual climate rally, 'Make It Real: Youth for Youth 2024', organized by Citizens’ Climate Lobby San Mateo Youth aims to empower young people to combat climate change. The event will feature a march and speeches from students and politicians, alongside contributions from local businesses. Meanwhile, discussions in the UK highlight the disproportionate sentencing of climate protesters, prompting calls for their recognition as 'prisoners of conscience'. In Brazil, a Harvard-led immersion program emphasizes the importance of understanding the Amazon rainforest's biodiversity and the urgency of its conservation amidst global climate challenges. Additionally, the military's strategic planning increasingly incorporates climate analysis, showcasing its significance in national security. Young climate activists face rising hostility, particularly those who are female or queer, as exemplified by incidents of aggression against young protesters like Brynn Kilpatrick and Licypriya Kangujam.
