Lana Weidgenant, Brazil/USA

I advocate for climate justice and sustainable food systems through mechanisms such as the UNFCCC and UN Food Systems Summit. I am also an organizer of youth climate strikes, and have organized for two of the largest climate strikes in the United States while studying here. I take part in speaking engagements, partially for the climate justice campaigns we have hosted at youth climate organization Zero Hour, and also more broadly at the intersection of food systems and climate change. Some of the ongoing campaigns I am involved in are an international youth pledge and actions for change called Act4Food Act4Change and a global youth-led campaign for healthy sustainable food at COP26 called Food@COP.
