CA SCR 53 is a resolution that would make California only the second state to declare a climate emergency. This resolution was written by youth climate leaders and continues the movement to support youth voices in climate policy. We are proud to offer our support.

EdSource published “How state leaders can advance climate-resilient schools now”, a commentary UndauntedK12 co-authored with Lisa Patel, a clinical assistant professor at Stanford University and co-director of the Stanford Climate, Health, and Equity Task Force.
