Each year, the Grist 50 identifies emerging leaders in climate, equity, and sustainability. These brilliant people are driving change in policy, in fashion, in tech, and in our food systems. They’re creating climate-centric comedy and music. They’re accelerating the clean energy transition. They’re leading — and winning — David-and-Goliath-esque battles against big industry. Collectively, their work shows what a vibrant, diverse climate movement looks like, and how everyone has a place in it.
On September 19th, 2023, Grist celebrated the Grist 50 with an event highlighting the personal stories and solutions of this year’s awardees. At the event, five 2023 Grist 50 honorees told personal stories of hope, perseverance, and climate action, produced in partnership with Back Pocket Media.
Presented in partnership with the Clinton Global Initiative and Climate Week NYC.
