The film features ten athletes, including Paralympic gold medalist in wheelchair basketball Marni Abbott-Peter and Olympic swimmer Markus Thormeyer, sharing stories of their most challenging, improbable sports comebacks as a call to action on climate change. While highlighting the urgency of climate action—the United Nations has given us only 11 years to prevent climate catastrophe—the film gives three tangible actions everyone can take on climate change: 1.voice your climate concerns to friends and family; 2. volunteer for climate organizations; and 3.vote. It’s a simple guide for taking the first steps towards systemic climate action—voice, volunteer, vote.

As the Founder and Student Director of the Climate Hub, I describe the Hub’s commitment to climate action anchored in justice, hope, agency, joyful community, storytelling, and systemic change. We’re using those same principles to empower and inspire high school students through the Youth Climate Ambassador Project (YCAP). YCAP, a collaboration between the Hub and Be The Change Earth Alliance trains university student facilitators to help emerging high school leaders realize this collective power and was created in response to the demand for climate change narratives that focus on hope and action rather than doom and gloom. YCAP was developed in part from my research. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1603246787163-ZQK1DGC00ZNRYMBBLBJ7/image-asset.jpeg Videos Gallery - Waste Wars: A Short Film On Food Waste In America After being a co-author on The Dating Game, a comprehensive report on food waste produced in partnership between the Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic and the Natural Resources Defense Council, I created this quirky stop motion film to provide information about the economic, social, and environmental consequences of food waste directly to consumers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1603570436860-T7ERGSH1VWVWU5P9JQ67/image.jpg Videos Gallery While participating in the Environmental Justice Knowledge Exchange Workshop and Symposium at UBC in April 2019, I had the opportunity to speak to Avery Holliday about my research on how the fossil fuel industry undermines climate narratives and what the public can do in response. Out of that talk, Avery produced this funny, powerful video. https://www.gracenosek.com/blog daily 0.75 2021-03-08 https://www.gracenosek.com/blog/build-student-resiliency-in-the-face-of-multiple-crises-empower-youth-climate-organizers monthly 0.5 2021-03-08 https://www.gracenosek.com/blog/tag/youth+climate+justice+leaders monthly 0.5 https://www.gracenosek.com/blog/tag/climate+justice monthly 0.5 https://www.gracenosek.com/blog/tag/mental+health monthly 0.5 https://www.gracenosek.com/blog/tag/climate+mental+health monthly 0.5 https://www.gracenosek.com/blog/tag/climate+anxiety monthly 0.5 https://www.gracenosek.com/home-video daily 0.75 2020-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1602040181660-DO079HRVC2DCMF85LJ22/image-asset.jpeg Home Video - Climate Comeback https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1602040181660-DO079HRVC2DCMF85LJ22/image-asset.jpeg Home Video - Climate Comeback https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1602040403398-LSEKCY4O6N5FJYJV47YU/image-asset.jpeg Home Video - Finding Your Climate Community https://www.gracenosek.com/home daily 1.0 2025-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1600050189394-0GE76WNP21ZXN5A96OYB/planet-potluck.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/9939bc1e-c925-4cee-9b68-4c18ba543634/Rootbound_CoverArt.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1600985202395-VBVIFGAA9158TPFXDE6M/1.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1600985177285-QFJFHDKFJ1OB6MSGQSZB/3.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1600984638691-U7AYJ573NE2S3X6RMEBT/2.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1600049515109-0VKJHF8034RXP68ZWFW7/blackBanner.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1602888706282-SEDDPONFYI6E8TPDA7D7/grace-banner.jpeg Home https://www.gracenosek.com/community-photos daily 0.75 2020-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1602903557885-KZ3OJJYZAELIRBSMNC77/Speaking+at+City+Hall.1.JPG Community Photos Speaking at Vancouver City Hall with youth climate activists, Nina and Uma.

Mira spends her days combing an uncaring world for any trace of Aspen, driven forward by a blistering pain in her limbs and the voice of her missing-probably-dead sister in her mind. When a shocking act lands Mira in the hospital, a mysterious stranger insists that she's a "treetalker," a powerful one, and that an ancient evil is hunting her. She laughs it off, until the stranger adds one last thing-this underworld group has been kidnapping youth climate strikers. Desperate to learn more, Mira throws her lot in with the mysterious stranger and the other treetalkers, who call themselves rootbound. Soon she's swept into a secret magical war that spans centuries, inching closer to discovering the fate of her sister. Rootbound: Join the magic. Join the movement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1603228707473-6G9DXC7ZAX1JSOUIICD7/3.png Books - Ava of the Gaia Ava Fae is delighted at the appearance of an alluring new boy at her high school, until she sees the dagger tattoo on the inside of his arm. She knows that tattoo, and it can mean only one thing—either she or the new boy will be dead by the end of the school year. Harnessing the magic of the elements passed down to her through the centuries, Ava works frantically to discover the true intentions of the tattooed stranger. But she is not the only one with mysterious powers and she finds herself thwarted at every turn. Hunter and hunted engage in an intricate game of cat and mouse—unaware that a much larger war is brewing, a war that will be decided by the outcome of their struggle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1603240523632-YTUSXLPRI21EFRNPB60T/2.png Books - Ava Rising After a night of terrible sacrifice and loss, Ava and Lucas have crossed a sacred boundary. Their forbidden bond has awakened the wrath of the Makhai, a fanatical gang of killers who will stop at nothing to wipe out the last of the Gaia. As Ava and Lucas flee across the globe, they are tested by violence, betrayal, and a mysterious curse of fire. Just as Ava needs her powers most, she is losing control—struggling to accept her new identity as the Alpha Gaia. Within her lies the power of the howling wind, the raging water, the boiling lava, and the quaking earth. It’s a power that frightens her—and it’s growing. With Mother Earth herself stoking the flames of Ava’s fury at the destruction of her world and the killing of her people, will Ava be able to channel her power for good, or will she be consumed by the fire of her rage? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1603241876014-DEEFJFKZJZGDIEB06273/1.png Books - Ava’s War A ruthless leader has seized control of the Ares and will stop at nothing to destroy Ava’s fledgling alliance. The Earth Mother, reeling from the agony of a warming planet, threatens to unleash her fiery rage. The Gaia Elders challenge Ava’s claim to the mantle of Alpha, sowing discord within the Order. Facing danger on all sides, Ava struggles to unlock the puzzle of communing with the Earth Mother. But betrayal lurks where she least expects it. “Ava and her friends are back, this time with an ancient source of powerful wisdom that was hidden for hundreds of years. A must read if you too want to further engage in the great project of our time—protecting Mother Earth and life as we know it, through love, wisdom, stories, and action.

After telling her own story of finding joy and fulfillment in climate work after personal tragedy, Grace interviews the friends she’s made through her years as a climate activist—students, professors, organizers, lawyers, activists on the front lines, engineers, and more. What emerges is an intimate look at the grief and joy of leaning into the climate fight and the beauty of standing shoulder to shoulder with friends to face an existential threat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1601873856214-LDC2Q1LXVZPYFJC5496H/podcast+banner.jpg Podcast https://www.gracenosek.com/videos daily 0.75 2020-10-21 https://www.gracenosek.com/community daily 0.75 2024-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/1603232284129-16O2TQP8VXLCMC05DO29/community.jpeg Community https://www.gracenosek.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e58340bbf266bb5467c75/3dc82333-828d-418d-8fd6-0b3ea1db1d5f/grace_bio.jpg Contact Dr. Grace Nosek is a legal scholar focusing on climate misinformation, protest, and democracy, as well as a long-time community organizer.
