Voices from the Movement
From local communities to global stages : hear from the people building CultivEarth.
Anaya Sharma
Youth Climate Advocate, India
"CultivEarth gave our community a platform to share indigenous knowledge that has been passed down for generations. For the first time, our voices are being heard in global climate discussions."
James Ochieng
Chapter Lead, Kenya
"The coalition model is powerful. We brought together 5 organizations across Kenya to form our national chapter. Together, we're stronger."
Dr. Maria Torres
Cultural Researcher, Mexico
"As a researcher, I've seen how culture is often overlooked in climate policy. CultivEarth bridges that gap in a truly ground-breaking way."
