Doorae Shin fell in love with Hawai‘i's majestic landscapes as a freshman on O‘ahu, but was dismayed by Styrofoam litter and its devastating impact on marine ecosystems. In fall 2012, she partnered with the Surfrider Foundation to lead a student petition, gathering 1,000 signatures. This effort successfully prompted the University of Hawai‘i Mānoa to ban single-use foam packaging from all campus dining locations.

Following this campus victory, Shin spent two years advocating for a statewide Styrofoam ban. When that initiative failed, she joined efforts for a county-wide ban on O‘ahu. Shin will soon begin her role as the University of Hawai‘i system's first student sustainability coordinator.

Jusen Asuka's talk, "Fall and Rise of Japan’s Climate Policy," addresses the nation's climate policy, which was active only briefly (e.g., the 1997 Kyoto Protocol) before becoming largely inactive. He proposes concrete steps for Japan’s green recovery to revive it.

Professor Asuka is with Tohoku University’s Center for Northeast Asian Studies. He previously directed the climate change group at the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES). Holding a Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo and an MBA from INSEAD, his expertise spans energy and environmental policy, and international cooperation.

This talk was given at a TEDx event.

Young, conservative, and Catholic individuals are increasingly advocating for climate action, driven by their faith and stewardship of the earth. Topher Anderson, a Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL)

Young, conservative, and Catholic individuals are increasingly advocating for climate action, driven by their faith and stewardship of the earth. Topher Anderson, a Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) volunteer, exemplifies this, citing his Catholic faith and Pope Francis's teachings as his motivation.

In March 2021, Topher met with Republican members of Congress, urging them to adopt climate solutions consistent with conservative values like small government and American ingenuity. He believes these principles are key to effective, nationwide solutions.

CCL supports people of faith in their climate advocacy, offering training and organization to empower ordinary citizens. Learn more about this growing movement at http://cclusa.org.

Hydrogen concepts are crucial for the North West UK's decarbonisation efforts. A key project in Cheshire involves converting two refuse trucks and an operational vehicle to fuel cells, supported by a hydrogen refuelling station in Middlewich.

Lily Bernadet from Storengy UK, an ENGIE company, is central to these initiatives. ENGIE aims to be a major player in renewable hydrogen, developing solutions from carbon-free power generation to end uses like mobility, industry, and energy storage. Storengy UK partners locally to advance projects across this entire value chain. This information was presented at a TEDx event.
