H2OO: Heirs To Our Ocean

We empower the next generation of leaders by connecting them in purpose, educating them on the intersection of environmental and humanitarian crises they are inheriting, and cultivating essential skills to create real-world change. linktr.ee/H2OO
This November, we are grateful for our Indigenous partners and youth leaders. At H2OO’s 2021 Water Summit, K’nek’nek' of the Yurok Tribe shared how the Klamath Dam threatened salmon, food, and culture, showing how Indigenous knowledge guides climate, water, and environmental solutions. 🌎💙

U.S. Youth Action Council for UN Ocean Decade wrote a children’s book following three young ocean heroes tackling pollution and protecting their ecosystems. We’re raising funds to publish and share it with kids everywhere. Help us bring this story to life! 🌊📚

This #TransgenderAwarenessWeek we honor transgender lives, remember those lost to violence, and highlight how climate justice and trans rights intersect. As H2OO co-founder Charley reminds us, #LeadHERship is for all genderqueer & transgender youth to see themselves and thrive.

#COP30 is underway in Belém but communities closest to the crisis are being sidelined. H2OO chose not to attend, standing with Indigenous and local people affected by deforestation. Real #ClimateAction starts with frontline leadership. We are committed to that path.

Climate and ocean challenges are growing, yet women remain underrepresented in leadership. H2OO’s new #LeadHERship Initiative empowers young women and girls to lead change now, shaping a more equitable and sustainable future. 🌊
