Sophia Kianni on Climate Action

When Sophia Kianni was in middle school she took a trip to visit relatives in Iran. She was shocked by the levels of pollution she saw there. The more she looked into it, the more alarmed she became. The effects of climate change are particularly extreme in the Middle East. And yet when Sophia brought up her concerns to her relatives, she discovered they knew almost nothing about climate change. Sophia was determined to educate her relatives, so she started translating scientific information into Farsi to help her relatives understand. This experience led to the founding of Sophia’s organization, Climate Cardinals (https://www.climatecardinals.org/) which now has over 6,000 youth volunteers translating and sourcing climate information into over 100 languages.

Listen to this episode to hear the conversation that our hosts had with Sophia Kianni. In March of 2020, Sophia started an international non-profit, Climate Cardinals, which makes the climate movement more accessible to all. They do this by translating climate information, and to date they have translated climate information into over 100 languages which has reached above 350,000 people. The ECI team has even joined their movement by translating 8 texts. Furthermore, she is the youngest member on the United Nations Secretary-General's Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change, an organizer for Fridays For Future, and an inspiration to both youth &amp; adults globally. During this podcast, we hope that you reflect on the importance of globally accessible climate information and the impact of language barriers.
