Ireland’s Mary Robinson discusses being ‘an elder’

Mary Robinson was the first female president of Ireland in the 1990s. Later, Robinson became the UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights. In recent years, she’s been chair of “The Elders,” a group founded by Nelson Mandela, with a simple mandate: to share wisdom and experience to help solve the world’s toughest problems. Now Robinson is focused on tackling the climate crisis. She travels the world connecting with young activists about environmental justice.
