Zac Goldsmith

With the ongoing extinction of species, destruction of forests and melting of ice caps, one thing is clear: even with huge advances in technology, individuals alone can't restore the world's ecological systems. Lord Zac Goldsmith, the UK Minister for Pacific and the Environment, believes that while we each have a part in climate activism, governments can propel the movement even further using political will. By taking steps to preserve nature through policy, regulations and proper funding, Goldsmith shows how leaders can help reverse the dangerous cycles propelling climate change. "Nature can rebound incredibly quickly," he says. "It's up to us to make sure that happens."
