Eyal Weintraub (born c. 2000) is an Argentine climate activist and environmental advocate. He is a co-founder and coordinator of Jóvenes por el Clima Argentina (Youth for Climate Argentina), a youth environmental organization associated with the international Fridays for Future movement. He has participated in international climate conferences and campaigns and has worked to promote youth participation in climate policy and environmental decision-making.[1]
Weintraub was selected as a National Geographic Young Explorer in 2021. National Geographic described him as an Argentine climate activist and student of international relations.[1]
Early life and education
Weintraub grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He became interested in environmental issues from a young age and organized his first environmental protest when he was nine years old, when he encouraged a friend to pick up litter in the streets of Buenos Aires.[2]
He attended ORT Argentina and subsequently studied international relations at university.[3][1]
Activism
Jóvenes por el Clima Argentina
In 2019, Weintraub and fellow activist Bruno Rodríguez co-founded Jóvenes por el Clima Argentina. The organization emerged in response to the international school climate strikes inspired by Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and the Fridays for Future movement.[3]
The organization helped organize Argentina's participation in the Global Climate Strike in March 2019. According to Infobae, Weintraub and Rodríguez organized the movement after seeing the international call for climate demonstrations and recognizing that there was no organized local response.[3]
National Geographic reported in 2021 that Jóvenes por el Clima had mobilized more than 100,000 people in Argentina and had played an important role in the approval of environmental legislation in the country.[1]
Weintraub subsequently became one of the organization's prominent representatives and continued to participate in public discussions concerning climate policy and environmental issues.[4]
As of 2026, Infobae identifies Weintraub as the General Coordinator of Jóvenes por el Clima Argentina.[5]
International climate advocacy
Weintraub has participated in international climate conferences and discussions on climate policy. In 2021, he attended the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland, where he spoke about climate education, the Paris Agreement and the need for greater political action on climate change.[6]
His climate advocacy has also included work with media organizations and international youth initiatives. UNICEF featured Weintraub in a guide on climate advocacy, where he discussed his experience working with the Argentine media to communicate environmental campaigns and mobilize public attention.[7]
In 2025, Weintraub participated in the COP30 in Belém, Brazil, where he discussed the challenges of implementing international climate commitments and the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.[8]
Writing
In 2021, Weintraub and Bruno Rodríguez published the book La generación despierta (The Awake Generation), which discusses youth environmental activism and the climate movement in Argentina.[9]
The book examines the role of young people in responding to climate change and the political and social challenges associated with environmental activism. Weintraub and Rodríguez presented the work publicly, including at the 2022 Buenos Aires International Book Fair.[4]
Weintraub has also written opinion pieces on environmental policy and climate issues. In an article co-authored with climate activist Nicole Becker, he discussed the importance of urban green spaces as a climate adaptation measure and their potential role in reducing heat, carbon dioxide and flooding risks.[10]
Media and public outreach
Weintraub has participated in media projects intended to communicate climate and environmental issues to young audiences. In 2021, he co-produced and co-hosted Lo Que Haces Cuenta, a podcast produced by National Geographic and Radio Disney Latinoamérica as part of a campaign on climate and environmental awareness.[11]
The podcast consisted of six episodes and featured discussions with specialists from across Latin America about climate change and environmental problems.[11]
Weintraub has also appeared in interviews and public discussions about climate policy, environmental education, sustainable development and youth participation.[6][2]
Recognition
In 2021, Weintraub was selected as one of National Geographic's Young Explorers. The programme recognized young people working on issues connected to exploration, science, conservation and storytelling.[1]
National Geographic subsequently profiled Weintraub as one of the prominent young climate activists in Argentina and highlighted his role in Jóvenes por el Clima Argentina.[2]
