Meet our COP25 Fellows to Spain!

The UN Climate Talks are almost here and we’re excited to introduce you to our cream-of-the-crop journalists this year!  They wrote and published exceptional and inspiring pieces about fossil fuel projects in their country that needs to be stopped. They amplified climate issues in national and international media.

Get to know our COP25 Fellows!

Allan Jay Quesada, 32, Philippines 
COP25 Fellows

Allan is a licensed architect and a photography enthusiast from the Philippines.

Aside from photography, he also loves to paint using watercolor and does tutorials in his YouTube channel. He balances work and hobbies by staying fit through joining marathons that have worthy causes. 

My climate change Hero is my father. He was the one who taught me how to love the simplicity of living and appreciate nature. He taught me how to plant trees and cultivate our own backyard vegetables…At an early age, he taught me how to have a sustainable living.

Andrea A. Gálvez, 28, Spain

cop25 fellow

Andrea was born in Spain but she’s been living in Argentina for over two years. She graduated with a degree in Anthropological Studies and Philosophy and then got her Postgraduate degree in Journalism.

She has worked on social and educational projects in research and communication, and currently she collaborates from South America with Spanish media such as: El Salto Diario and Ctxt. 

Andrea has simple tastes and says a perfect day is one spent at the sea. We concur! However, she gets complicated when it comes to building forts. When she was a child, Andrea built a shelter in her room that was so well-constructed that it was almost impossible to get in out out of it. 

“I really admire the Bolivian families who live in very hard conditions on the outskirts of Buenos Aires but with great effort and community work, they are producing in their orchards in an ecological and sustainable way. The are my climate change heroes. “

Leopold is excited to play a key role in empowering the masses through compelling stories at COP25. However, he admits, when he was a child, he often stole juice and then added water to what was left to hide his tracks. 

My climate change hero is the late Prof Wangari Maathai. She pioneered the conservation of the Karura forest among other water towers long before many knew climate change would be a big deal. She ensured that public recreational parks in Nairobi were not converted into sky-crappers and concrete jungles.

Twitter: @MarouaAbdennebi

cop25 fellows

Maroua has been channeling her passion for environmental issues and climate change as a journalist in the Tunisian Press Agency for the past 4 years, working on the economic and financial desk.

With the belief that climate change is not yet the priority of policy makers in emerging countries, she is determined to raise raise awareness of climate change risks and to encourage decision-makers to take action to reduce their impact. 

Leonardo DiCaprio is my climate change hero! He is one of the few Hollywood actors who has been advocating for the climate cause for several years.   Over the last few years, he has increasingly used his fortune and his foundation to support climate change actions.
