As Part of Black History Month 1Xtra once again celebrates its Future Figures. Future Figures is a way to recognise those members who are giving back to the Black community, and a time to celebrate the countless acts that are taking place up and down the country today by those who are helping to create the black history of tomorrow. Dominique Palmer is a Climate Justice Activist, writer, global speaker and graduate of Political Science and International Relations in the U.K. She is part of Climate Live, and a founding member of the Youth Climate Justice Fund. She became an environmentalist after discovering how air pollution was impacting her community, and started her journey in climate action. The same year she was involved in organising the September 2019 youth climate strikes which brought 300,000 people onto the streets across the U.K. Her work now focuses on intersectional and equitable climate action, making environmentalism inclusive, slow fashion, climate education and communication, harnessing music and creative means, and finding joy through uniting people. Palmer is a winner of the prestigious Planetary Health Award, and in 2023, was honoured as a ‘Young Leader’ at the Green Carpet Fashion Awards. She was also named in Forbes 2020 Top U.K Environmentalists List for her work. She was named one of the U.K’s most high profile youth activists on Sky News, and has featured in major publications including British Vogue, Vogue, DAZED, the Sunday Times Style, and Global Citizen.
