The vast majority of climate change research is only available in English. In Net Zero Speaks with Sophia Kianni, Kianni tells climate activist Philo Magdalene that “75% of the world doesn’t speak English but 80% of scientific literature is only available in English. We need to mobilize as many people as possible to make a difference and we need to ensure that marginalized communities get access to climate information.”
Kianni is the Founder and Executive Director of Climate Cardinals, a youth-led nonprofit that sources and translates important climate resources into over 100 languages. Currently studying climate policy at Stanford University, the 20-year-old is also the United States representative to the United Nations Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change.
