In this episode, I have a hopeful conversation with Erin Miller, currently a student at the University of Sydney and Master of Sustainability candidate. She is currently completing her capstone project with UNICEF Australia, writing their domestic climate, environment and sustainability policy, and works in environmental and sustainability management at engineering construction company Laing O’Rourke.

We deep dive into the mental health impacts on young people and Erin explores her work at UNICEF writing a climate change policy for the organisation and how this is instilling hope in young people. 

Nearly 86% of young people experience worry and stress around climate change and they often feel like their voices aren’t heard in making real and active change. Erin was able to provide valuable insight into how the policy for UNICEF incorporated the voices of young people in shaping a policy around climate change that tackles health and environmental degradation.
