Emily is a projects, campaign/policy and research professional in the third sector, focused on social, climate and environmental action. Active in the international climate justice movement since 2018, Emily is a member of groups such as Youth4Nature and YOUNGO, focused on climate policy and advocacy issues around adaptation and resilience, livelihoods and food systems, nature and land, and intersectionality and just transition. With a background in Development and Social Anthropology, Emily’s interests are political economy, social ecology & policy/institutional processes.
“We know something is rotten within our world, hurting and screaming through us. Many people are taking action, although not simply due to fear or panic, but because of something more powerful: hope. Alarm and despair might dominate the rhetoric of climate activists and social justice organisers, but our ability and strength to push through these negative and distressing feelings comes from our belief in positive, transformative change. Sometimes consciously, often unconsciously.”
