In this episode we're with Alessia Trabucco, Clean Mobility Coordinator at Generation Climate Europe, as she reveals how young voices are reshaping climate policy across the continent.
Alessia explains how Generation Climate Europe brings together over 300 organisations across 46 countries to campaign for young peoples' perspectives to be recognised. Their successful campaign for a Commissioner on Intergenerational Fairness at the European Commission shows how strong and persistent advocacy can create lasting institutional change.
Beyond policy work, Alessia highlights the emotional reality facing young Europeans—with 80% expressing worry about climate change and many experiencing eco-anxiety. She emphasises that clean mobility represents both environmental and social sustainability, affecting access to education, jobs, and overall life satisfaction.
We also talk about her work on ASSIFERO's Climate Philanthropy Programme, and Alessia reveals how foundations worldwide are being encouraged to integrate climate considerations regardless of their primary focus.
