Over three-quarters of young Australians aged 16-25yrs are concerned about climate change.
But young people feel powerless as two-thirds of young Australians say climate concerns are having a negative impact on their mental health (Orygen, 2023).
As young people we still have time and the ability to write our future.
It is up to us.
Hope lies in action and it all starts with the first step.
“Rising Up is more than a documentary; it's a beacon of hope“
