An Inconvenient Youth is a coming of age story about the rise of the global youth climate movement, from flood-ravaged villages in Nepal to international conferences in Cancun and the riots of Copenhagen and Paris. A true story about the power of personal connection and the worthiness of keeping hope in the face of incredible challenges, director Slater Jewell-Kemker has created a personal documentary of epic perspective, her own story evolving within the ongoing crisis of climate change on the world stage.

Last December, the World Bank Group’s Connect4Climate initiative brought together a humanitarian coalition comprised of Paul G. Allen's Vulcan Inc., the Li Ka Shing Foundation, Okeanos, The Oceanic Preservation Society, and Obscura Digital to present a gift of contemporary public art entitled "Fiat Lux: Illuminating our Common Home" to Pope Francis on the opening day of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy. At this unprecedented and historic event, beautiful images of our shared natural world were projected onto the façade of St. Peter's Basilica in a contemporary work of public art that told the visual story of the interdependency of humans and life with the planet, in order to educate and inspire change around the climate crisis across generations, cultures, languages, religions and class.
