Luke Wallace is an entertainer with a mission. This 29-year-old singer, songwriter and filmmaker wants to see other young climate leaders shine.

As the 2022 spokesperson for the (I-SEA) International Sustainability Education and Action’s Youth Climate Action Awards, Wallace recognizes and lifts up school-aged youth with awards accompanied by significant prize money — $300 to $1,500. As an entertainer, he uses music and film to entertain and motivate audiences to act on the climate crisis.

This piece is part of a series of profiles highlighting young people across the country who are addressing the climate crisis. These extraordinary humans give me hope. I write these stories to pay it forward.
