Sophia Kianni

Sophia Kianni addresses one of the most overlooked challenges in the climate movement - the language barrier that prevents millions from accessing vital environmental information and participating in climate action. Through her work, she has identified how translation gaps create systemic exclusion in climate communications, leaving non-English speakers without the resources they need to understand and respond to the climate crisis.

Kianni's approach focuses on making climate education and advocacy truly inclusive by ensuring that language differences don't determine who gets to participate in environmental solutions. Her insights extend beyond simple translation to examine how cultural context and linguistic accessibility shape climate engagement across different communities.

She has shared these perspectives at major events including the Countdown Summit and Web Summit, demonstrating how breaking down language barriers can accelerate global climate action and create more equitable environmental movements.
