Dominique Souris

Co-Founder, Executive Director, Youth Climate Lab

Dom and colleague Ana Gonzalez co-founded Youth Climate Lab in May 2017 to support and strengthen a generation of leaders around the world to shake up the status quo of climate inaction. A well matched pair, Dominique leads project design, fundraising and partnerships while Ana leads the organization’s operations and project management. Together, they co-lead the strategy and impact of YCL, working to enable young people to build just, climate-resilient futures. Under their shared leadership, YCL has created 21 projects engaging youth in 77 countries, supported nearly 50 youth-led climate ventures, and sparked close to 100 youth-led policy ideas to increase climate ambition. She also serves on several boards.
