" I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it offers the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded peers who believe in driving systemic change. I pursue this work because I see sustainability and finance as powerful tools to reimagine how economies grow—where investment decisions not only generate returns but also secure a more equitable and resilient future for communities worldwide. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: GreenTrack
GreenTrack is a student-led initiative that makes sustainable finance and climate literacy accessible to young people. Through workshops, interactive sessions, and digital resources, the project will break down complex ideas like ESG investing, carbon footprints, and sustainable consumer choices into simple, actionable knowledge. The aim is to empower students to connect their daily decisions with broader climate goals, fostering a generation that is financially informed and environmentally responsible.
Measurable Goals (August–December 2025):
-Conduct 3–4 workshops on campus with at least 150+ students participating.
-Develop and share a digital toolkit (infographics, case studies, and guides) reaching 500+ students online.
-Partner with at least 2 campus clubs/organizations to integrate climate-finance learning into their activities.
-Launch a student survey to measure awareness before and after the project, aiming for at least a 40% increase in literacy levels on key topics (carbon taxation, ESG, sustainable consumption).
-Create a replicable model framework so the initiative can be scaled to other universities after the Fellowship.
