ActNowFilm: Youth Climate Leaders as Agents of Change was produced by the University of Bath Institute for Policy Research (IPR) and Cambridge Zero, working with Drummer Television.

"ActNowfilm shows how young people are taking action on climate in a way that inspires others to do the same, whilst also demonstrating to global policymakers that they are credible leaders of change," said Dr Amy Munro-Faure, Head of Student Engagement and Education at Cambridge Zero and Co-Director of the ActNowFilm Project.

It is the fourth film from the ActNowFilm Project, launched in 2021. The films showcase the pioneering work of eight young people aged 18-35 years old, who come from every continent except Antarctica, as well as experts in climate change.
