Inspired by her own successes and failures, Melati Wijsen takes you on her journey of becoming a changemaker and the 100 lessons she learned along the way. Change Starts Now shares an insight into what it was like for a 12-year-old girl growing up in the movement, and how anyone, anywhere, no matter their age, can get involved too.

'In a world that can sometimes feel consumed by darkness, Melati is a shining light.' The World's Largest Lesson

'The most powerful force for change today is not coming from conference rooms or corridors of power. It's coming from young leaders like Melati who combine vision with unstoppable determination.' Christiana Figueres

Melati Wijsen is a full-time changemaker who knew at a young age that she wanted to take action. Her idols were not Barbie or Taylor Swift, but Mahatma Gandhi and Jane Goodall. Her first achievement was building a youth-led movement to say no to plastic bags. She is praised for her determination, vision, and leadership. In 2023, Melati was the opening act of Barack Obama in the Netherlands. Today, she's created a global platform for youth to empower each other and accelerate change.
