University College London | London, United Kingdom | Advancing SDG 6 & UNAI 9
" As a geography student, the work we do and the goal of our discipline aligns perfectly with the SDGs -- to promote a fair and sustainable human and natural environment. The interest of the environment and the living species, and the connection between human and the environment is what I hope to protect and create positive impact on, especially regarding community efforts and individual actions that conserve the natural world. I am sure that the Millennium Fellowship will be a perfect platform to generate ideas and actions on how everyone takes action to save and cherish our planet. "
