Well, we're here at the Under 30 Summit, and I'm lucky enough to be joined by Gia Bastida,

who is an environmental activist. Thank you so much for being here and for joining us.

Thank you for having me.

Of course. So the environment is an issue that affects everyone, but it particularly affects people in disadvantaged communities.

Now, however, you have a lot of people who are very wealthy also taking a lot of interest in it.

And I understand that you're working with Richard Branson on some things.

Can you tell us a little bit about what you're doing with him?

Yeah, so it was actually very interesting for me to find out that there's billionaires

who want to put their money into climate, and it's contradictory as well, because a lot of people

who get to that position of wealth have done it through things that are hurting the planet. So as a

climate activist, it was a conflicting thing. And then I learned about what this initiative was about, which is the planetary boundary science.

There is a way in which scientists have come up of measuring the whole health of the planet

in nine different boundaries, including ocean, biodiversity, actual CO2 emissions, things like

phosphorus and things like I start to not understand as the boundaries go along.

And we have reached seven of the nine planetary boundaries, which means we are out of the safe operating zone.

And because of this, we decided that we were going to bring a group of experts together to be ambassadors of the planetary boundaries so people would know

what the issue is and that we have to bring the world back into the safe operating zone.

This group includes people like Jane Godot, like Sylvia Earle, David Suzuki, former president,

Juan Manuel Santos, former president, Mary Robinson, former head of IMF.

I mean, it's a really diverse group of economists, presidents, Nobel Prize laureates,

and climate activists, which is insane for me to be in that group.

And what I've learned is we might disagree on a lot of things, but we need to agree on the health of the planet.
