In my field, climate change is not just an environmental issue but a complex challenge that affects all populations across the globe. It encompasses social and political concerns as environmental crises pose a clear threat, forcing many people into displacement. Climate change thus creates a class of climate migrants who are often underrepresented in our Canadian immigration policies. By aiding and advocating for conventional refugees and immigrants, I am equally committed to advocating for people affected by such circumstances. I hope to amplify the voices of those whose human rights are compromised due to environmental degradation and help in providing feasible solutions.

My advice would be to start zeroing in on what you’re truly passionate about. Whether climate change, equality or innovative infrastructure, identify one area that fills you with a sense of fulfillment and purpose when you work on it. Once you’ve found your niche, seek out a community of like-minded individuals who share your vision and enthusiasm. This can take the form of a school club, an online community, or a job that aligns with your interests. Within these circles, try to engage in meaningful conversations and be open to learning new skills. You’ll be surprised at the wealth of knowledge and different perspectives you can gain from others. Above all, remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day! Change is a gradual process; every small action you take contributes to a larger impact. So stay curious, adaptable, ambitious and well-informed. Embrace your goals with determination and an open heart, knowing that your contributions are paving the way to a more sustainable future.
