Climate Alumni
UCL alumni are now leading sustainability teams in business, advising on international climate negotiations, working for NGOs and launching climate startups.
“Our overarching demand, in line with my personal belief, is for youths to be actively and meaningfully included in all decision-making processes in climate governance. All of this would not have been possible without the support of my friends, colleagues, and mentors from UCL Climate Action Society, Sustainable UCL, and UCL Culture — I’m incredibly grateful for you all!
