Dominique on stage with Mary Robinson in New York
"A thriving, and sustainable future is possible. We need radically different connection and communication to co-create the future"
Dominique hosted a roundtable with the former President of Ireland and Current Chair of the Elders, Mary Robinson, at the Youth Climate Justice Fund event at the Ford Foundation
Young people receive only 0.76% of all climate philanthropy (found form a YCJF study), and at YCJF, she plans to change that.For funders, it's not just about who you fund, but how you fund. It is crucial for funders to build trusting relationships with their grantees. This can be done through participatory grant-making, accompaniment or increased transparency around funding decision.She spoke on the power of intergeneration collaboration- we need to co-create the future. Mary Robinson in response said she was brilliant.

Dominique hosted a panel at the O2, for Billie Eilish and Support and Feed 's 'Overheated' climate event.

It was an exciting moment to bring the conversation of Climate Justice to a space fostering learning and empowerment.
On the second date, Dominique was invited to the closed music industry day, and delivered a talk and spoke on a panel addressing music industry professionals on sustainability in music, and how they can support youth activists.
"I want everyone to feel the power they have to create a ripple effect of change. Another world is possible, but only if we are brave enough to imagine it and dare to rise up together.""It can be overwhelming, but remember that you are not alone. The power of the people can be truly monumental"

House of Commons, UK Parliament
Dominique was invited to speak within the House of Commons, in Westminster. She spoke to MPs and civil society members to advocate for the Climate and Nature bill, and to encourage MPs to vote.
She spoke about the great potential of this legislation to restore nature, and require the UK to meet climate and nature targets that we need for a liveable and equitable future.
"I would love to see long-term, science-led strategy to tackle the climate and nature crises together become law!"
"Can you look into the eyes of your children and those on the frontlines of this crisis and say you are doing all you can? If not, we need you, now."
"We are here because
we believe in the power
of everyday people,
in all of you"
Dominique, alongside Vanessa Nakate, commanded the main stage of Sziget Festival, to an audience of over 30,000. She was introduced by Maggie Baird, the founder of Support & Feed and Mother of Billie Eilish and Finneas, the speech took place before Billie's set, meaning Dominique was able to engage a new audience into protecting the planet.
She highlighted that we do not need 100 perfect climate activists, but a million imperfect people doing what they can. People brought their climate signs to show support.
"We are here today because we believe in the power of everyday people, in all of you.
For many countries on the frontlines, climate change is already devastating lives, It is these communities who have contributed the least to the crisis but remain most vulnerable to its impacts."
