Emma is from Glasgow and currently working as a Policy and Communications Officer at Environmental Protection Scotland. She recently completed her postgraduate studies in Global Environmental Law and Governance at the University of Strathclyde, where she focused her final dissertation on principles of energy justice and the politics of fossil fuels.
Previously, Emma has also graduated from the University of St. Andrews in International Relations and Italian, where she was first introduced to topics related to climate change, fuelling her passion to pursue a career in the environmental sector and do more for the planet.
Alongside becoming a Young Leader, Emma has also started volunteering at Re-Earth Initiative, a global youth organisation with the aim to make the climate movement accessible to all. She hopes to meet and engage with a number of young people through both of these opportunities, and is looking forward to learning more about how to restore nature and protect biodiversity here in Scotland.
