About Us

Emma has a Master’s in Environmental Policy from Sciences Po, Paris, and a Bachelor’s in Land Economy (Environment, Law and Economics) from the University of Cambridge. She founded ClimaTalk at the end of her undergrad in June 2020 and has been running the organisation ever since. She’s also working as a Climate Policy & Research Consultant for the international marine conservation NGO OceanCare. When she isn’t in meetings or on Slack, she’s busy finding the best vegan food.

Georgia researches and teaches at the University of Geneva, having studied English literature at Cambridge and Durham. She is Editor-in-Chief at ClimaTalk. Currently she can be found in the mountains around Geneva when not in the library!

Having recently graduated from a Master’s in Environmental Policy and Regulation at the London School of Economics, Aisling is now working as a researcher at a sustainability consultancy that specialises in climate change, biodiversity and human rights. She is particularly passionate about issues at the intersection of human rights and climate change, and in engaging people from all different walks of life in the climate discussion. Outside work, she loves running, photography and listening to jazz!

Hazel is a recent graduate of Trinity College Dublin in French and German. She spent last year chairing her university’s debating society, while also reporting on current affairs for Eurodesk’s Pool of Young Journalists and PulseZ and researching refugee rights for her university’s Free Legal Advice Clinic. This work showed her how international policymaking shapes everyday lives, and instilled a passion for sustainable social justice. She currently serves as a Young Ambassador with the ONE Campaign in the UK supporting development projects in Africa, and with Ensemble Contre la Peine de Mort, advocating for the global abolition of capital punishment. As Co-Lead on ClimaTalk’s COP31 Project, Hazel covers all things SB64 and COP31 – when she’s not working on her advocacy or journalism projects, you can probably find her at the cinema or updating her London café rankings (she’s a coffee fiend).

Cecilia is doing her Master’s in Circular Economy and working at United Nations ESCAP, supporting the work on climate action and youth inclusion. She is also a UNEA-7 Youth Delegate, leading ClimaTalk in its first ever coverage of UNEA. Cecilia is passionate about climate justice, resource efficiency, circular economy, and child rights. Cecilia loves puzzles and is practicing archery in her free time!

Felicity works as a communications and campaigns consultant with NGOs around the world. She grew up in Cornwall in the UK, and has a strong affinity for the ocean. She is a passionate vegan and animal rights activist. Since completing her MPhil degree in Film and Screen Studies at the University of Cambridge, Felicity has focused her skills and time on her passion for communicating the climate crisis, particularly with youth networks. Her love of film, literature and journalism is centred around her core belief that engagement with the public is what can most effectively lead to change.

Aghgul has Bachelor’s degree in State and Public Affairs and currently part of several NGOs, advocating for climate justice and gender equality. Since she is passionate about nature and environmental justice, she tries to embody their elements in the designs as well. When she is not lost amongst emails, slack messages and drive notifications, she loves sketching, scrapbooking and watching animation.

Having graduated with a Masters in Environmental Policy from Sciences Po and in International Relations from King’s College London, Luisa has previously interned at the UNFCCC’s just transition work programme. Prior to her role as Commissioning Editor, in which is responsible for the articles written by freelance authors, she led ClimaTalk’s COP 30 Project. Luisa is particularly interested in climate justice. Outside of work, she is drawn to ballet for its artistry, discipline, and storytelling, and enjoys reading as a way to slow down and explore new perspectives.

Victoria studied Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, specialising in Chemistry. Now working as a Software Engineer, she’s eager to use her skills to contribute to positive social and environmental change. You’ll probably find her cuddling her cat (much to his chagrin), doing puzzles, or hunting for vegan snacks.

Suzanne has a master’s degree in European Culture, Politics, and Society, with a focus on EU climate policy and citizen participation in policymaking. She currently works at a municipality in the Netherlands as an advisor on EU projects, most of them revolving around sustainability. She is fully in her element when doing her favorite “grandma hobbies”, reading about topics she cares about, and expanding her ever-growing Letterboxd watchlist.

Irene has a background in Industrial Engineering, with a focus in energy. She works as a Policy Advisor on Embodied Carbon at Bellona Europa, an environmental NGO focusing on industrial decarbonisation and EU climate policy. She is also an alumna of the EIT Climate-KIC Journey 2020 and is passionate about education, feminism, and tackling environmental challenges.
