Climate change severely impacts regions like the Gulf of Mexico, threatening livelihoods. Young people, disproportionately affected, are leading the fight for environmental policy but are often excluded from critical solution discussions. Including diverse young environmentalists is crucial for effective action.

Armon Alex, a young climate activist, co-founded the Gulf of Mexico Youth Climate Summit and Project WAVES, a student-led water quality initiative. He empowers young leaders in climate communication and serves on Corpus Christi's Environmental Task Force. Maggie Peacock, also a co-founder of the Gulf of Mexico Youth Climate Summit, works with youth organizations and hosts community events. Both advocate for diverse perspectives in global climate solutions.
