I’ve been a climate activist for the past 9 years at The Climate Reality Project, where I am currently a mentor to new climate advocates entering the organization.  As a supporter of civic and youth engagement in the decision making process, I am locally engaged in the organizing team of the Local Conference of Youth on climate change in Italy, a forum event where young people can learn more about the climate crisis and elaborate solutions that will contribute to a final youth statement which is handed to the local institutions. Whereas at the global level, I am involved in the structuring of the COY, the UN conference of youth on climate change, where a final global youth statement is produced and brought to the Conference of the Parties every year. I joined this year’s theme for the World Forum for Democracy because I believe in the importance of civic engagement, where citizens can be part of the policy making process that concerns the society and the environment in which they live.
