In New Net Zero show on the Planet Classroom Network, climate entrepreneur Sophia Kianni says it's critical to ensure that marginalized communities get access to climate information.
NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The vast majority of climate change research is only available in English. In Net Zero Speaks with Sophia Kianni, Kianni tells climate activist Philo Magdalene that "75% of the world doesn't speak English but 80% of scientific literature is only available in English. We need to mobilize as many people as possible to make a difference and we need to ensure that marginalized communities get access to climate information."
Kianni is the Founder and Executive Director of Climate Cardinals, a youth-led nonprofit that sources and translates important climate resources into over 100 languages. Currently studying climate policy at Stanford University, the 20-year-old is also the United States representative to the United Nations Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change.
