This month, audiences can screen Net Zero Speaks with Adrián Fernández. This film is curated for the Planet Classroom Network by Protect Our Planet and Planet Classroom
In this new release in the Net Zero Series, Climate Activist Jerôme Peyret Oberholzer interviews Adrián Fernández, Director of Iniciativa Climática de México who has worked for more than 30 years on climate change and environmental policy issues in Mexico. Fernández is a leading expert in the areas of air pollution, environmental health, and toxic substances. He was the founder and CEO of Mexico Climate Initiative, a non-profit foundation that promotes climate change mitigation efforts.
What are the most important climate lessons Mexico has learned in the past 30 years about the environment and what must it do to achieve her Net Zero goal? Jerôme Peyret Oberholzer gets answers.
The Global Search for Education is pleased to welcome Climate Activist Jerôme Peyret Oberholzer.
Jerome, why did you select this particular climate thought leader to interview?
I chose this leader because the climate initiatives that he has been involved with are just absolutely awesome. I didn’t know Dr. Adrian before the interview but I was so glad that I got the opportunity to interview him.
What surprised you most about your interview?
Well, at first I thought that the interview was going to be short. However, all the answers that he gave to me were so well explained that it lasted much longer and that’s something I really liked.
What are the 3 main takeaways for the Net Zero audience from your interview?
I think that one takeaway is that when you want to achieve something, you need to be patient, and you need to be willing to put in a lot of dedication and time.
Another takeaway is that you can know a lot of things and with that you can have success. However, when you listen to other people’s opinions and discover what they know, you are going to learn more and this will help you succeed even more in what you want or do.
I think my final takeaway would be to help the environment. If everyone can develop good, healthy habits, our environment will get better.
Thank you Jerome!
C.M. Rubin and Jerôme Peyret Oberholzer
