Lou Töllner

Lou Töllner is a 24-year-old law student and environmental activist in Hamburg, who co-founded the citizen initiative 'Hamburger Zukunftsentscheid' that successfully pushed for a strict climate protection law mandating the city to become climate-neutral by 2040. Despite facing challenges in negotiations with the government, Töllner's campaign garnered support from voters, leading to a significant shift in local climate policy, reflecting the growing influence of youth activism in environmental issues.
