Aatika Patel - Climate Ambassador and ClimAcademy Communications
Aatika Patel (she/her) was born in India, but has lived in Fiji for the longest time, and calls it home.
Aatika has always been passionate about youth, gender and climate development in the communities where she lives. Climate justice to her is to be able to inspire and organize bold action by communities on the frontlines of climate change to challenge the extractive economy that is harming people and ecosystems; be able to build resilient, regenerative and equitable economies rooted in place-based webs of social and ecological relationships.
“I believe we can all agree that we want a world where everyone is seen as equal and is educated, empowered and engaged to address climate change and gender equality.”
Aatika would like to acknowledge the traditional, ancestral, un-ceded territory of the Mni Sota Makoce (Minnesota) on which she will be learning, working and organizing in the future. Growing up, she never heard the traditional names of the territories; indigenous people were talked about in the past tense and all the struggles they faced were in the past tense as well. As an activist, She is committing herself to the struggle against the systems of oppression that have dispossessed Indigenous people of their lands and denied their rights to self-determination, work that is essential to human rights work across the world.
