Johanna Bozuwa

Master's Student at Utrecht University, Member of Climate Generation: A Will Steger Legacy's COP22 delegation

Johanna is a Vermont native now pursuing her Master’s at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. She studies the application of systems thinking to provide sustainable solutions in society, business, and education. As an active member of the Fossil Free University Network in the Netherlands, she also works to cut universities’ ties with the fossil fuel industry. Before starting her master’s program she lived in DC working on climate education and action at a nonprofit for two years. She attended COP21 in Paris, advocating for education and youth action alongside Climate Generation through the #youth4climate initiative. She now straddles the line between student and educator as she pursues a master’s and works as the Fellow at the Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness Network (CLEAN). This experience has reinforced her commitment to education that promotes youth empowerment on climate change. As an ardent feminist and graduate of the all women’s college, Barnard, she is particularly focused on the gendered effects of climate change. At COP22, she hopes that she can connect with youth, both from her North American and European ties as well as beyond, to send a clear message for climate action in Marrakech.
