Katharina Flatt, 16, an IB1 student, is adventurous, open-minded, and curious. Growing up in central Germany, limited opportunities and her siblings' lives sparked an early desire to explore diverse cultures. This led to exchanges in France, Peru, and the US, alongside family travels fostering a deep passion for nature.

Her interests culminated in "Classroom under Sails," a transformative half-year Atlantic voyage. This challenging experience—living in close quarters, performing night watches, and studying on a wavy ocean—exposed her to new cultures and intense natural environments. The journey prompted profound reflection on her lifestyle, particularly regarding environmental issues and inequality, fundamentally shifting her perspective on consumer society. She will share these insights.

Generational pressure, spearheaded by young activists like Greta Thunberg, is the crucial driver for climate change policy. Daniel C. Esty, a Yale Professor of Environmental Law and Policy, argues that this shift in values, viewing planetary contamination as a moral wrong, is key to progress. He likens it to the societal transformation that made smoking unacceptable.

Esty, editor of "A Better Planet: 40 Big Ideas for a Sustainable Future," emphasizes that transformational change is often driven by generational shifts. For a sustainable future, energy companies must reimagine their role and become part of the solution to this global crisis.
