In 2018, Ilana Cohen co-founded the New York City chapter of Zero Hour and organized one of the nation’s first Youth Climate Marches, spurred by political inaction. As a Harvard student, she relaunched the Fossil Fuel Divest Harvard campaign, securing a historic victory when the university pledged to divest its $53 billion endowment from fossil fuels.

Cohen, 21, later co-founded Fossil Free Research, an international grassroots campaign. It unites students and experts against Big Oil’s influence on climate research, aiming to protect academic integrity and accelerate a just energy transition. The campaign has published an open letter signed by over 740 academics, staged international actions, and formed campus coalitions.
