Now that everyone has headed home following the Paris climate talks, it's time to analyze, discuss and figure out next steps. As Bill McKibben wrote, "This agreement won't save the planet. It may have saved the chance to save the planet (if we all fight like hell in the years ahead)."
Although a group of 195 nations agreed to a landmark climate agreement, it's up to all of us to ensure that governments uphold their stated goal of allowing the earth's temperatures to rise no more than 2 degrees Celsius.

This past Saturday, over 220 young people, ages 13-18, took over the Stata "Street" and lecture halls as we hosted the 9th Annual Youth Summit on Climate Change. It was a beautiful sight! It has been an honor and a pleasure working with the Boston Latin School's Youth Climate Action Network, the organizer of the summit, for almost a decade.
