Här är årets PUSH to COP25 delegation! Vi är en grupp engagerade unga som under FNs klimatförhandlingar sätter press på beslutsfattare, rapporterar och skapar debatt i medier om vad som sker och pushar för högre ambitioner. Läs mer om oss i presentationerna nedan.
Följ våra rapporteringar och äventyr på facebook, twitter, instagram och bloggen förstås! Om du vill stödja vår resa till COP25 får du gärna swisha till Sara Nyberg på det här numret 0704357506.
Sara Nyberg
The last four years I have been studying environmental engineering at LTH, the technical faculty at Lund University in Sweden. Well, apart from one year when I was on exchange at ETH in Zürich in Switzerland. I specialize in energy systems which I find very interesting! During the spring 2019 I have worked with GHG accounting, so I have calculated the annual emissions from different companies and events. I am passionate about “saving climate” and want to work with reducing the emissions from the energy sector. I have been involved in the environmental movement for several years and have attended several Power Shift (the annual sustainability conference of PUSH Sweden). Currently I am the international coordinator (for the international group) and active in YES-Europe, a network of young people in the energy sector. In my leisure time, I love to sail with tall ships and to hike in the mountains!
Stina Bagge
I’m a 24 year old law student at Uppsala University, specializing in public international law and international environmental law. Currently I’m doing some research about the genocide-ecocide nexus, and possibilities of making climate destruction an international crime. Apart from my studies I’m an Ocean Rights Associate at Earth Law Center, an organisation which works to transform our legal systems so that they acknowledge nature’s inherent rights. I’m very interested in questions regarding water- and ocean management and protection, as well protection of the polar regions. During the fall 2018 I’ll be in Tromsø on exchange to study climate change law and the arctic.
Adam Leckius
En glad kille på 29 ½, som efter en trevande karriär inom musiken sadlade om och blev s.k ”överliggare”, och parallellt då även lobbyist. Avslutar nu PPE-programmet i Lund. Mina favoritstunder i klimatkampen är när man inser att alla är människor, det vill säga även förhandlare och företagsfolk, går att påverka om man får en chans att prata med dem. Mina sämre stunder är när man inser hur många det är vi skulle behöva påverka, som vi kanske inte får en chans att prata med. Varit med sedan COP22 i Marrakech 2016 och täckte dessförinnan COP21 på hemmaplan. Täcker bl.a. frågor om finansiering och prissättning av CO2. Håller på med detta för att vi måste.
Nick Fitzpatrick
Nick is currently a Course Coordinator at The Centre for Environment and Development Studies (CEMUS) at Uppsala Unversity, Sweden. He is a 24 year old Australian who is currently finishing an MSc Geology (Ice and Climate) at Aarhus University, Denmark. He also holds a BSc in Environmental Science from University of Wollongong and studied one year at Uppsala University. His research and industry experience focuses on increased youth engagement, carbon budgets, environmental governance and renewable energy networks. He currently works with several local organizations – namely Den Grønne Studenterbevægelse (DGSB), PUSH Sweden and the Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC). Outside climate-related activities his interests include sustainable travels (train and bus), cycling, watching/playing ALL sports, hiking and running.
Lovisa Sommerholt
Lovisa is currently working on EU regulations for chemicals in Brussels and thus closely follows the EU Green Deal and Waste discussions. She holds a B.Sc. in Political Science from Uppsala University and is currently a Master’s candidate in European and International Law at Europa Institute, Saarland. Much of her studies have been focused on climate change be it on regional security or the UNFCCC climate negotiations. When she isn’t busy working on her master thesis, she spends her free time learning the elusive art of cooking or deliberating on Hannah Arendt.
Internationella gruppen
Vi är fler personer i internationella gruppen än de som kommer åka på klimatkonferensen! Internationella gruppen består av många fler härliga personer som ni kan läsa om i bloggen under ”om oss”.
Hörs mer när konferensen öppnar imorgon!
