Lou RISSLE
Youth Delegate
Switzerland
I’ve been working as an activist for the climate strike in Switzerland, advocating for collective action and collaboration between grassroots activism and constitutional politics. I am passionate about how the climate crisis connects to human rights and especially advocate for the rights of women, the LGBTQIA+ community, and people with disabilities. I’ve worked as an SDG junior ambassador at the United Nations and recently accompanied and supported a group of human rights defenders at the Human Rights Council. I’m currently a student at Pearson United World College (UWC), focusing on international collaboration and sustainability and I hope to bring the voices of a diverse community of youth to the WFD.
