Sasha Emery is a francophone youth born in NWT and raised on the Traditional territories of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta’an Kwäch’än Council (Whitehorse, Yukon). She is currently enrolled in a BA in environmental and urban studies at the University of Ottawa. A big part of her climate activism consists of spreading awareness on the reality of climate change in the North as a member of the Prime Minister's Youth Council, the Natural Resource Canada Youth Council, and the Yukon Government Youth Panel on Climate Change. She is passionate about the intersectionality within the climate movement and how the UN's Sustainable Development Goals can be harnessed to shape solutions. She strives to empower youth and to challenge current unsustainable ways of living. She created and co-hosts a for youth by youth podcast called “Conversations climatiques” (climate conversations) to make accessible resources on climate anxiety and spread awareness on a diversity of environmental related topics for young French Canadians in minority-language settings. In her free time, she paints, dances, and hikes in the outdoors. She hopes this experience will allow her to gain insight on initiatives she can help implement in her community.
