Young people's fearless advocacy has been pivotal in the fight against the climate crisis.

I'm proud to announce the 14 young leaders who will form my next @YAGClimate Youth Advisory Group.

Too often, Indigenous Peoples are excluded from decisions on climate, tech & beyond. Their knowledge & wisdom are crucial to building a just future.

On World’s #IndigenousPeoplesDay, let’s stand together to protect their rights & voices.

AI systems often exclude or misrepresent Indigenous Peoples, reflecting colonial biases. Yet, when developed, implemented and governed ethically, AI can support language revitalization and cultural preservation.
