“This is an incredibly exciting time to be working in climate! As more people voice their concerns about our warming planet, the issue of climate change is capturing media attention in a way that it never has in the past. I find it very motivating to see a growing number of people, especially in younger generations, who are passionate about protecting our planet, keen to learn more about climate change, and willing to take action!”
