Ana, why did you select this particular climate thought leader to interview? What inspired you about her?
I chose Anna because of her extensive experience and knowledge in climate education. Her dedication to turning concern about climate change into actionable steps for students is truly inspiring. She has a remarkable ability to bridge the gap between awareness and action, which is crucial in today’s world.
What surprised you most about your interview?
What surprised me the most was learning about the disconnect between students’ concern for climate change and their readiness to take action. Anna highlighted how climate anxiety can lead to inaction, emphasizing the importance of education in empowering students to act. This insight was both enlightening and thought-provoking.
What are your three main takeaways for the Net Zero audience from your interview?
Firstly, effective climate education should empower students to take meaningful action. Secondly, integrating climate education across the curriculum can enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Lastly, preparing students for the green economy requires a strong emphasis on STEM subjects and developing skills like creativity and critical thinking.
Thank you, Ana!
