Giovanna Santo is one of CCL’s Climate Advocacy Fellows this summer for the Mountain West and Southeast region. Her tasks include supporting Campus Leaders in their own climate advocacy pursuits and aiding in activities and projects being worked on by the Regional Coordinators.

Florida International University Student Giovanna Santo

As an undergraduate student at Florida International University studying Political Science, Giovanna is deeply involved with YOUNGO and The Carbon Fee and Dividend Movement

At the age of 12 Giovanna remembers watching the documentary "Our Planet," where she learned how unmitigated climate change would lead to ecological decimation. The more she learned, the more she found out that climate change would leave catastrophic tolls on humanity. Giovanna feels strongly that climate change is the most urgent issue society is facing, prompting her to devote her time to advocating for climate solutions.

Giovanna is hoping that her increased responsibilities at CCL will allow her to have an increased impact on the climate movement. She is also eager to work on her personal project this summer and hopefully make the carbon fee and dividend a more popular climate solution.

Giovanna is a Brazilian from Miami that loves reading, being outdoors, painting, volunteering, and spending time with friends. She is also a big Indie music lover and cat mom of two.

All of us at CCL are delighted to have Giovanna working with us this summer.
