The current generation of 18 to 34-year-olds is the last one capable of making a difference on climate change. If they fail, they will be the first one to truly feel its impacts. In this powerful talk Geoff Dembicki describes how Millennials are affecting politics, economics and pushing society towards a new paradigm, where social good is worth more than financial gain. Originally from the suburbs of Edmonton, Alberta, Geoff Dembicki arrived in Vancouver by way of Carleton University’s Journalism program. He’s written for a variety of media outlets, such as Foreign Policy, Vice, Salon, Walrus and the Toronto Star and has been a staff writer for The Tyee for the last six years. He’s travelled to locales across the globe and experienced transformative change and movement from people wanting to make a difference in places such as Beijing, Hawaii, San Francisco, New York, and Paris. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
