Wawa Gatheru delves into the interconnectedness of climate and social justice, unpacking how systemic failures across education, housing, and labor perpetuate poverty and environmental risk. Drawing upon the energy and vision of youth activism, she urges the climate leaders of tomorrow to pursue intersectional, systems-level approaches. Her message, rooted in the values of justice and solidarity, reflects U-M Climate Week’s momentum-building message: “Together for Tomorrow.”

This event is a part of U-M Climate Week 2025: Together for Tomorrow, cosponsored by the School for Environment and Sustainability and the Office of Vice Provost for Sustainability and Climate Action.
