Güzide Sofi

I am a Cypriot peace and environmental activist. I hold a degree in economics and mathematics from the London School of Economics and completed my master's degree in economics, focusing on development and policy, in Paris. Most of my time is dedicated to youth organisations and sustainability projects. I am part of the core team of LCOY Cyprus, where I organised the first and second Local Conferences of Youth (LCOY) in Cyprus, ensuring Cypriot voices are heard in UN processes like COY and COP. My experience includes working with NGOs such as Milkywire, London Politica, ReShape Co., and the International Crisis Group. I have worked with youth through these organisations and my recent traineeship in communications at the European Parliament. As the Country Contact Point of Cyprus for COY17, I organised the first-ever bicommunal delegation from Cyprus to a COY.
