Adil Trehan is a climate storyteller creating narratives on the urgency of climate justice. He experienced the power of stories to drive social change while developing PSAs and a short documentary around climate disasters, clean energy, and community power at CNN and Sierra Club. He volunteers for Climate Emergency Fund, a philanthropy funding youth climate activism. Adil studied Politics, Philosophy, and Economics at the University of Pennsylvania and grew up in New York City to parents from India and Turkey.
Adil is making a short documentary about climate anxiety, exploring how the climate crisis impacts our mental health and plans for the future as we face rapidly intensifying climate impacts. He hopes the project will help people address their own mental health and amplify available resources for managing climate anxiety.
