Explorer Robert Swan inspires & empowers the next generation
Roots & Shoots Ambassador Robert Swan is a remarkable person and an inspirational speaker.As the first person to walk to both the North and South Poles, completely unassisted, he's seen first hand the impact climate change is having on our planet, in even the coldest regions of our world. He also knows the power of inspiration, determination and planning...if you set your mind to something, you can achieve anything, and if you have support, you can achieve even more.Swan is dedicating his life by raising awareness on the preservation of Antarctica, the Earth’s last great wilderness. He formed his company, 2041 Foundation, an organization dedicated to this goal and to inform, engage and inspire the next generation of leaders to take responsibility for sustainability. Who better to inspire the next generation and encourage them to harness their collective voices and actions to tackle the problems facing our planet?
