Is a meteorology student working as a research assistant at the University of Helsinki and compiling her M.Sc. thesis on a method for emission source identification. Her choice of a career was heavily steered by her interest in and concern about climate change - its complexity and scope being both alarming and fascinating. Her dream is to make a contribution to tackling climate change, both professionally and at a private level. Mira’s research work and her new role as BC climate advocate is already an inspirational start. Challenge Europe offers her a channel to the world: to the decision makers, organisations and people, who have to be convinced about the problem and given incentives and alternative ways to deal with it. She hopes to see how information can be converted into concrete choices that have the potential to trigger big changes. “I am also excited about this great chance to network with like-minded people, to learn and to grow into the influential and responsible person I want to be”.
