# New Leaders Making Big Moves:  The Culture-Makers Opening Up New Possibilities for Climate Action 

In the absence of strong federal leadership on climate, we need to look to new leaders and new sectors to make big moves. In this panel, we’ll explore how cultural icons and institutions can move climate leadership faster and have ripple effects far outside their direct operations.
