“Climate Catalysts addresses the critical issue of limited access to climate and environmental information for vulnerable communities, particularly in non-English-speaking regions like Eastern Indonesia. Over 90% of scientific literature is in English, which only 17% of the global population speaks, leaving 83% without access to vital climate information. This gap is especially challenging for Indigenous communities, where high-level scientific terminology needs to be localized for effective communication.The initiative works to bridge this knowledge gap by empowering BIPOC youth in the Global South, publishing climate resources, and promoting local climate education. Climate Catalysts aims to make climate change information accessible and actionable for marginalized rural communities, ultimately inspiring climate action in vulnerable regions.
My favorite part of GES was the mentorship program, as a young person who wants to create climate resilience and also promote inclusivity, my mentor helped me leverage my impact on a local and global scale. ”
