The mission of PowerShiftMsia is to help young environmental leaders learn, develop their skills and turn their passion into action. It is hoped that once participants return to their home state, they will create and run their own campaigns for climate, environmental and social justice. Together we will create a new wave of climate activism for a better future.
History of #PowerShiftMsia
It all began with Global Power Shift, a summit held in Istanbul, Turkey from 24 to 30 June 2013. For seven days, 500 young climate leaders from 135 nations, including seven Malaysians, shared stories and developed skills to organise and manage campaigns. The seven came back to Malaysia determined more than ever to create a national movement calling for climate action and hence, #PowerShiftMsia was born.
