Anna Rose  /  Climate change & weather

Anna’s climate change work started with shovelling compost and emptying recycling bins in high school. She went on to work with the National Union of Students (winning dozens of campus clean energy victories), speak onstage with the Dalai Lama in Perth, trudge through the snow door-knocking in the United States, and spearhead Australia’s first climate torch relay in her former role as GetUp’s climate campaigner.

In 2011 Anna received a Churchill Fellowship to research youth peer-to-peer climate education. The Sydney Morning Herald named her one of Sydney’s most influential people (2009) and one of the top five most powerful grassroots organisers in NSW (2011).
