Our future is intrinsically, undeniably linked to climate action. Ignoring the emergency of climate change is an act of conscious decision-making against our best long-term interests. I believe education and communication are key values to turn this around. And us, youth, are not settling for less.

Apart from individual action, I am involved with project REBOOT, a portuguese-based NGO for communication and raising awareness on climate change. Find us at https://project-reboot.pt/. We are a team of volunteers, passionate about ending the inertia that we witness in every corner of the fight against climate change. Let's get the wheels of this bus-on-fire moving.
