Former UN under-secretary-general Erik Solheim calls on young global citizens to spark a global green wave, echoing Gandhi’s famous challenge: “You need to be the change you want to see in this world.”
Solheim draws inspiration from China’s historic May Fourth Movement, where students’ voices reshaped society. Today’s digitally savvy youth can follow suit—acting on environmental causes, sharing local climate wins, and inspiring peers worldwide. The message is simple: small actions, amplified online and offline, can tip the planet toward sustainability.
Whether you’re a student, entrepreneur, changemaker or traveler, Solheim’s call is clear: lead the charge for a greener future. It starts with one idea, one post, one protest—and spreads into a wave that can move mountains (or at least carbon footprints).
Ready to ride the green wave? Your voice matters.
