August’s Young Planet Leader - Alex Wagonfeld

Alex Wagonfeld is a climate activist at The Nueva School in San Mateo, CA, who has taken on several climate initiatives to create an impact on the international, national, regional, and city-wide levels. Wagonfield has created an international movement for high schools to divest from fossil fuels and reinvest into clean energy through his International High School Divestment & Reinvestment Coalition, operating in 10+ countries with over 49 member schools.

He has worked further to mobilize hundreds of youth to take climate action through High School Climate Action, an online resource he created that is currently utilized by 1,500 students in the United States. Locally, he has spoken at over a dozen city council meetings across the Bay Area to successfully push for sustainable electrification policies and helped progress his own school to become much more sustainable through leading Nueva's Environmental Club and Fossil Fuel Divestment & Clean Energy Reinvestment Team.
