How do toddlers become tweens who become teens who take themselves so seriously, they get right to work on the biggest, hairiest problem on planet earth? We start with Stanford student Sophia Kianni, known as the family megaphone, the one who started every argument, and then sit down with Colorado State's 2019 Outstanding Professor of the Year, Dr. Emily Fischer.

“Go vote” is the resounding message that 20-year-old climate activist Sophia Kianni wants everyone to hear, because the only way to effect real change to slow global warming, is through better public policy, she says. One of seven activists who make up the Secretary-General's Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change, the young American bemoaned the failure of the US Congress to pass ‘Build Back Better' legislation, to tackle the climate emergency. If people want to be engaged, they need to be involved in their political processes, she told Liz Scaffidi, but she began by explaining how she took up the mantle of climate activist.

Listen to Sophia Kianni's climate advocacy story involving Climate Cardinals, journalism, and the United Nations.
In this episode, we're joined by climate activist Sophia Kianni for a conversation about her changemaking journey, the model of change behind her organization Climate Cardinals and her advice for young changemakers. Sophia is the founder and executive director of Climate Cardinals, an international youth-led nonprofit that works to translate information about climate change into over 100 languages. She represents the United States as the youngest member on the United Nations Secretary-General's Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change. Learn more about Climate Cardinals here: https://www.climatecardinals.org/ The sentiments and opinions in this podcast do not reflect the opinions or stances of UNA-USA, the Youth Observer program, or the UN Foundation.
When Sophia Kianni was in middle school she took a trip to visit relatives in Iran. She was shocked by the levels of pollution she saw there. The more she looked into it, the more alarmed she became. The effects of climate change are particularly extreme in the Middle East. And yet when Sophia brought up her concerns to her relatives, she discovered they knew almost nothing about climate change. Sophia was determined to educate her relatives, so she started translating scientific information into Farsi to help her relatives understand. This experience led to the founding of Sophia's organization, Climate Cardinals (https://www.climatecardinals.org/) which now has over 6,000 youth volunteers translating and sourcing climate information into over 100 languages.
Young people are heavily affected by the climate crisis. It is they who will have the job of cleaning up the mess left by previous generations. Episode 2 talks to two young climate activists who have already made a significant impact in this area: Jouja Maamri and Sophia Kianni. Jouja is the UK's delegate to the G7 Youth Summit, where she covers climate policy. She talks about the vital role language plays in addressing the climate crisis, effective ways in which young people can help this fight, and the links between climate and racial justice. Sophia shares with us her experience of setting up Climate Cardinals, a volunteer-led not-for-profit which translates climate information into 100+ languages. Continuing the focus on how young people are taking the lead, From the Field shares some fascinating insights into a project run by the Moldova English Teacher's Association, who are bringing young people together, through language, to talk about the climate crisis. Perhaps the most famous youth activist of all is the focus of The Green Glossary, as we dissect the meaning of the phrase ‘The Greta Effect'.

Listen to this episode to hear the conversation that our hosts had with Sophia Kianni. In March of 2020, Sophia started an international non-profit, Climate Cardinals, which makes the climate movement more accessible to all. They do this by translating climate information, and to date they have translated climate information into over 100 languages which has reached above 350,000 people. The ECI team has even joined their movement by translating 8 texts. Furthermore, she is the youngest member on the United Nations Secretary-General's Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change, an organizer for Fridays For Future, and an inspiration to both youth & adults globally. During this podcast, we hope that you reflect on the importance of globally accessible climate information and the impact of language barriers.
Sim Gulati and Sophia Kianni discuss Sim's journey into becoming an entrepreneur in fashion and sustainable technologies as the Co-founder and CEO of Dropel Fabrics. Learning about the trade at the dinner table, Sim grew to begin his entrepreneur journey through wanting to find a replacement of polyester, before developing a tiered approach for Dropel Fabrics, paying attention to materials, chemicals, and processes. His goals are directed towards wanting to be PFC free, as well as to have a sustainability process that is scalable and repeatable.
