Robert L Stephenson CEO
With over 40 years of experience spanning music, entertainment, environmental advocacy, and social enterprise, I am driven by a deep commitment to leveraging the arts for social change and climate action. As the Founder and CEO of Climate Actions Now (CAN) and CANMusic.org, I have dedicated my career to empowering the next generation of leaders, fostering cross-cultural collaborations, and investing in sustainable development projects aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
At Climate Actions Now (CAN), we focus on initiatives that promote environmental stewardship and community resilience. Through projects like Eduponics—which integrates aquaponics into educational systems across Africa—we equip students with the tools to engage in sustainable agriculture. Our development of the Climate Action App (CAA) empowers individuals and communities to track and reduce their carbon footprints, fostering grassroots climate action.
