Kevin J. Patel has fought as an intersectional climate justice activist from Los Angeles, CA for the past eleven years. Growing up with severe heart issues due to Los Angeles’s poor air quality, he is one of the millions of people across the world who are already victims of the climate crisis. In 2019, Kevin founded OneUpAction International, an organization that supports and empowers marginalized youth by providing them with the resources they need to be changemakers. Through his work with OneUpAction, Kevin collaborated with the community to create the first-of-its-kind Youth Climate Commission in LA County to amplify youth voices on the climate crisis. Kevin is a UN Togetherband Ambassador for Goals 7, 13 and 14, and he currently serves as a 2020 National Geographic Young Explorer. He also serves on the Youthtopia_World : Circle of Youth Council, the Climate Power Council, and the Intersectional Environmentalist Council.
