A young professional with so much passion for action, Tanaya’s is one to listen to for inspiration.
Tanaya is a fellow of C4C and currently works at environmental charity Earthwatch as their Impact and Communications Officer. As a graduate of the Masters in Environment and Sustainability, she knew that climate action needed people power more than anything else. The tech, the science and the solutions were ready and waiting to be harnessed, but she felt that the social momentum was the missing part of Australia's climate puzzle. She joined the Challenge for Climate because it helped her connect with her community to build that people's power for action on climate. She says "I was tired of feeling helpless about the state of our planet. It has been an incredibly rewarding experience to be vulnerable, open and honest with my friends and family about climate change, and have conversations that make a difference. Thanks to C4C, I have renewed my enthusiasm for climate action." Tanaya comes to us from Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung country.
