When climate activists say that you shouldn't eat so much meat, consume new clothes, drive cars, use plastic, or cut down forests, it’s seen as a direct offense to what we've been taught all of our lives - that we can dream and grow without limits. Shyla Raghav re-imagines climate change by showing us everything we gain by making the seemingly impossible decisions that we face today - and how we can turn offense, anger, fear, and helplessness into determination to confront the climate emergency. Shyla Raghav is Conservation International’s leading expert on the impact of climate change on people and nature across the globe. Shyla played an integral role in getting the Paris Agreement signed by 195 countries and has been instrumental in influencing international climate policy for over a decade. Shyla has also worked at the World Bank, Adaptation Fund, United Nations Development Programmme, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
At Conservation International, she finds nature-based solutions to fight climate change and ensures they are incorporated into policies. From both California and northern India, Shyla studied applied ecology and international relations at the University of California, Irvine and earned her master’s degree in environmental management from Yale University. She has worked on both climate change mitigation and adaptation – and is a key communicator in the climate movement. She was recently named one of InStyle’s BadAss Women last year. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
