Description

Lucia Urreta is a junior in high school from Houston. Growing up on the Gulf Coast, she was used to big storms and hurricanes. But she noticed they were getting scarier and more frequent. Then in September 2019, Tropical Storm Imelda hit, and Lucia knew it was time to take action. She organized a climate strike in front of city hall, spoke in front of the city council about the need for action, and started a petition to create a youth climate council for Houston. Lucia has been vocal about helping her community fight the climate crisis ever since.  

Lucia also works with Climate Cardinals (climatecardinals.org), an organization that makes climate science accessible in over 100 languages.
