Youth Leadership: Shreya Chaudhuri – Reclaiming Roots: The Global Fight for Indigenous Science
For generations, Indigenous science has safeguarded ecosystems worldwide—yet mainstream environmental solutions continue to sideline it. As climate crises escalate, young activists are reclaiming these knowledge systems, challenging colonial frameworks, and forging global solidarity. Drawing from my family’s six-generation history in India’s tea industry and my work decolonizing environmental education at UC Berkeley and through my nonprofit, Project Planet, this talk explores how students and youth-led movements are reshaping the fight for climate justice by centering Indigenous knowledge. The future of sustainability isn’t about reinventing solutions—it’s about reclaiming the roots that have long sustained our planet. The question is: will we listen?
