We put language access on the climate agenda

Through years of advocacy, partnerships with governments and grassroots organizations, and international awards recognizing our impact, we have elevated language access as a key issue in the global climate debate.

With over 2 million views across platforms, Sophia’s talk is one of the most watched TED talks on climate change.

OUR MISSION

Climate Cardinals is one of the world’s largest youth-led climate organizations.

We strengthen community resilience to climate change through language access and youth empowerment.

Imagine a world where everyone can become a Climate Cardinal, messengers sounding the alarm in every language on our world’s greatest threat!
