We sit down with Veena Balakrishnan, Heeta Lakhani, Marie-Claire Graf, and Sophie Daud who have launched the Youth Negotiator Academy! They train young people around the globe to become youth representatives for their nations at global events like COP, and to be effective negotiators once they've gotten a seat at the table. Listen in to hear their journey and passion for putting power into the hands of young people!
