Climate Change Activists: 13 Environmental Leaders Creating a Better PATH for the Future
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) recently issued a new report suggesting a significant increase in global temperatures over the next five years. According to the WMO, heat-trapping greenhouse gases and a naturally occurring El Ni?o event will likely cause temperatures to reach record levels. There is a 66% chance that, for at least one year between 2023 and 2027, the annual average near-surface global temperature will exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. While this isn't the 1.5°C specifically mentioned in the Paris Agreement, it will be a significant experience for humanity. This is why it's important that we all take action on climate change and why we're spotlighting 13 climate change activists taking action to the next level.?
Our selection of the number 13 is symbolic; it reminds us of the atomic number of aluminum, a metal integral to many aspects of modern life and especially important for crafting our aluminum refillable bottles.

Each individual listed has taken bold strides to effect change, inspiring many to join the battle against climate change and build a better path for the future.
