How do we create a greener world? At the 2025 APEC Leaders’ Meeting in South Korea, young visionaries are stealing the spotlight 🌟. Meet four trailblazers proving that sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a movement powered by Gen Z and millennials.
From biodiversity advocates using TikTok to spread awareness 🦋 to climate researchers crunching data like it’s their superpower 🔍, these innovators are rewriting the rulebook. One volunteer’s cross-border clean-energy projects connect Seoul to Santiago, while a cultural exchange founder bridges gaps through eco-art 🎨. Their message? “Small actions create big waves.”
This year’s APEC butterfly emblem isn’t just symbolism—it’s a call to action. As one youth delegate put it: “We’re not waiting for permission to fix the planet. We’re building the tools as we go.” With 60% of APEC members prioritizing youth-led climate policies, the future’s looking brighter—one solar panel and community garden at a time ☀️.
