4. Joanna Sullivan on a year of action ahead of us

“We need to keep pressure on world leaders so that they make the right decisions to protect us all – but particularly the most vulnerable people in the world, who have done the least to cause climate change but are suffering the most." The French newspaper “Le Monde” recently defined Joanna Sullivan as a “pioneer of ethical lobbying in Brussels”. Joanna is founder and CEO of Conscience Consulting, the first sustainability agency in Brussels, where she advises institutions, business and civil society. She is also Professor of Climate Diplomacy at the European Institute in Nice, published author on sustainability engagement, moderator, facilitator and speaker. With degrees in Law, Politics and Psychology, Joanna builds bridges for inclusive sustainable societies, convenes coalitions and designs campaigns that drive positive change. We had a fantastic super interesting talk about the power of climate activist movements, how a year of action until COP27 will have to unfold, helping indigenous minorities with no voice to get a seat at the table, and how to stay optimistic in these turbulent times filled with uncertainty. Joanna is an activist, an expert on how to make people & orgs take action to solve the climate crisis. In essence: a real power woman. The world would truly be better off with more people like her.
