UlrikaTegner.jpgUlrika is a 22-year-old student and activist living in Lund. She is the vice chairperson of the students’ organisation Sustainable University. In addition to working with many local projects, she went to the UN “Intercessional” climate negotiations to learn more about global politics and the global movement. The loss of trust in real climate action from the top political level inspired her to make change happen herself. Ulrika is in constant shock from the way we treat our planet and each other, and wants to be part of a movement changing this behaviour. She has studied human ecology, which includes environmental history, ecology, political ecology and ecological economics. She has been a local nature guide, and works in the multicultural café in St Hansgården, a permaculture youth education centre. Other interests are music and dance of most kinds, and psychology. The combination of human well-being and sustainable one planet living is therefore at the core of her interests.

 
 
 
Lithuanian Climate Advocates decided to run an awareness campaign focusing on art and garbage. They wanted people to realise that turning one’s trash into treasure can help prevent climate change.
