In September, we hosted Germany's leading youth climate justice activist Luisa Neubauer as a John F. Kennedy Memorial Policy Fellow. Neubauer led discussions on climate and democracy with George Sarrinokalaou, Director of the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability, and Mathias Risse, Director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy.
