About Luisa Neubauer
Born in Hamburg in 1996, Luisa Neubauer is one of the world’s best-known climate activists and a main organizer of Germany’s “Fridays for Future” movement, which has been bringing hundreds of thousands of people to the streets for the past five years. In 2021, she and other campaigners won the ground-breaking constitutional court case “Neubauer vs. Deutschland”, forcing the German government to strengthen its climate protection legislation. She has met with Emmanuel Macron, Angela Merkel and Barack Obama and has written three best-selling books about the climate crisis. Luisa Neubauer’s latest book, “Against Powerlessness” (2022), was co-written with her 89-year-old grandmother, Dagmar Reemtsma. Neubauer also hosts the Spotify climate podcast “1,5 Grad”. She was awarded the Predigtpreis in the category “life’s work” in October 2023.
