Emiliana Rickenmann is a 19 year old climate activist from Colombia, who is currently studying medicine in Switzerland. The crisis in the Amazon sparked her to get involved in the movement by joining Fridays For Future Bogota. She has since co-founded Latinas for Climate as a platform to amplify the voices of those in Latin America who are most affected by the climate crisis and empower young girls to add their voices to the fight. Those most affected by the climate crisis are often left out of the headlines. But this is not because they are silent, they are simply unamplified. Today, we talk climate intersectionality, the Escazu agreement, activism with a busy lifestyle, privilege to safely advocate for change, and more. Tune into part one of On Strike With Insight: Activism From All Angles available everywhere podcasts are heard.

I curated the Activism From All Angles series as conversations with young activists from around the world. Each passionate and knowledgeable activist brings to the table different ideas, understandings, and experiences. Whether you call yourself an activist or simply want to gain a greater understanding about what so many young people are working for today, this series is for you.
