How to build a youth-led ocean climate movement ft. Bodhi Patil

“Ask those who know more than you, ask questions to people you believe have the answers, and ask yourself what you can bring to the table for our ocean.” After returning from COP27 in Egypt, Bodhi Patil sits down with us to share the biggest ocean takeaways from the experience, and his messages to youth. As a young ocean climate solutionist, Bodhi is personally building bridges and programs that represent the future he wants to create for his generation. He has a lot to say, including exactly the ways that organizations and institutions need to step up as leaders and use an intergenerational and intersectional approach. He shares his story, his work, his advice for fellow young people, and his key messages for all of us. This episode feels like a breath of fresh air, 80% of which came from the ocean. :)
