It is divided into two sections: \u003ci\u003eThe Groundswell Approach\u003c\/i\u003e, exploring the use of social media and mass gatherings aimed at raising public awareness of the issue of climate change; and \u003ci\u003eThe Direct Approach\u003c\/i\u003e, a participatory methodology that encourages collaboration directly with the policymaker and youth in the discussions and creation of progressive climate policy for the world. The book also delivers a detailed analysis of the United Nations' only database of youth-produced documentary films related to climate change research, impacts, and proposed solutions: the \u003ci\u003eYouth Climate Report\u003c\/i\u003e, arguing that film is a powerful and effective communications tool for the policymaker. The book proposes two frameworks and explores their in-field applications for successful youth climate activism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Terry\u003c\/b\u003e is a scholar, explorer, and filmmaker.
