Abstract: Youth activism is playing a crucial role in shaping environmental policies and driving public awareness. Young leaders are taking action today, advocating for urgent responses to climate issues and influencing systemic change. This G’nY blog explores a compelling conversation with Abhiir Bhalla, a BBC-recognized youth environmentalist, highlighting his journey in environmental advocacy, the challenges he has encountered, and the strategies he employs to combat air pollution. His efforts exemplify the power of grassroots activism, policy engagement, and community-driven solutions in addressing one of the most pressing public health and environmental crises of our time. By mobilizing young voices and fostering collaboration, youth-led movements are proving that a cleaner, healthier future is possible through persistence, awareness, and action.
