🇮🇳 Heeta Lakhani is a climate educator from India who gives all her energy to enhance the participation and power of youth in grassroots as well as international processes and policies.
🇺🇳 She is currently serving as the Global Focal Point for YOUNGO, the official youth constituency of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
💪 Heeta found her calling after attending the COP21 in Paris, which is about bridging the knowledge gap on climate science as well as international processes among the children in India, who are at the forefront of facing the impacts of climate change in the coming years. She then took more and more responsibilities with YOUNGO to empower and engage youth for the climate, all around the world.
