Clover Hogan: Mobilising Mindsets for Climate Action

At 24 years old, Clover Hogan has already made her mark as a formidable climate activist and a beacon for youth mobilisation around the globe. As the founding Executive Director of Force of Nature, a youth non-profit, she champions the cause of transforming mindset towards climate action. Her commitment to the environment isn't confined to activism alone; she has collaborated with leading global authorities on sustainability, providing consultations within the boardrooms of Fortune 50 companies, and offering counsel to heads of state on pivotal climate matters.

Clover's passion isn’t just about advocacy – it's about empowerment. Addressing the sense of "eco-anxiety" prevalent among today's youth, she aims to transform this overwhelming concern into actionable change. Her message is clear: Young people can, and should, be at the forefront of decisions that shape the future of our planet.

Her TED talk titled 'What to do when climate change feels unstoppable' serves as a testament to her profound impact and has garnered over 2 million views. In it, she offers insights, solutions, and a deep understanding of the current environmental landscape.

The urgency and significance of Clover’s message can be captured in her own words: "If I could impact just one thing, it would be helping my generation turn their eco-anxiety into action, and feel empowered to take on the climate crisis." This sentiment underscores her upcoming global keynote at this year's conference titled "From eco-anxiety to action: mobilising the next generation of climate leaders." In this keynote, Clover will share how we can turn eco-anxiety into the fuel that motivates us – and expand on why conversation is the most important first step.
