The Nexus of Judaism & Environmentalism (Penelope Kopp)

In this episode we welcomed Penelope Kopp, a Co-Founding National Leadership Board Member and current Actions Director of the Jewish Youth Climate Movement (JYCM). JYCM is a Gen-Z led movement dedicated to combating climate change and environmental injustice from a Jewish lens. We spoke to Penelope about the intersection of Judaism and environmentalism, JYCM’s works and her own experiences with this work, and how faith-based environmentalism can shape political and cultural perspectives.
