At ChangeNOW 2026 in Paris, one of the world’s largest gatherings for climate solutions, Prasiddhi Singh joined global leaders, innovators, and changemakers to bring youth perspectives into critical climate conversations. Speaking at the Legacy Stage, she emphasised the need for intergenerational leadership and questioned who truly gets a seat at the table when decisions about the future are made.
During the panel, Prasiddhi highlighted a reality many young people face: climate anxiety driven by disconnection from nature and lack of agency. Drawing from her work with the Prasiddhi Forest Foundation and Mission 10 Million Trees, she shared how empowering young people with action can turn concern into meaningful impact.
As part of the session on “Hope, New Narratives, and Imagining the Possible,” Prasiddhi called for a shift from fear-driven conversations to action-led thinking. In a powerful collective moment, voices across the room came together with one message: “We need to hope now, act now.” The session reinforced that change is no longer something we wait for, but something we actively build together.
At the summit, Prasiddhi introduced GreenBuzzAI, her exclusive initiative – a gamified platform designed to help young people discover planet-positive career paths in under a minute. By bridging passion with real-world opportunities in climate tech, ESG, and policy, the platform encourages youth to see themselves as active contributors to the future.
A key highlight at the ChangeNOW 2026 was the launch of Prasiddhi’s second book, Prasiddhi’s Great Barrier Reef Adventure. People from across the globe came together to appreciate her climate education initiative, The Green Pillar, and eagerly picked up copies of both her first book, Prasiddhi’s Amazon Rainforest Adventure, and the newly launched book on life below water. Each copy supports her Mission 10 Million Trees, turning stories into action by contributing to on-ground tree plantation efforts.
ChangeNOW 2026 reinforced a simple but powerful idea: real progress happens when every generation is included, not just in conversation, but in leadership. For The Green Pillar, it was a reminder that the future is not something to wait for, but something we are already building together.
