Why TRUST for Earth Day?- #WITNESSlive

On this edition of #WITNESSlive, American actress Monique Coleman interviews climate scientist Pushker Kharecha. attorney Kelly Matheson and a youth leader with Global Kids on the effects of climate change and how video and legal action can quash government apathy.

The science is undeniable. We have fundamentally transformed our planet. This ecological transformation, in turn, has created the human rights challenge of our time: climate change. The human rights challenge is most succinctly summarized by Mary Robinson, "Climate change will, in short, have immense human consequences." But there is hope, and it lies in the voice and power of our youth.
