Rosalind Skillen is a podcast host, speaker, and climate activist from Northern Ireland. Rosalind studied French and Spanish at the University of Cambridge, and is passionate about how art, creativity, and imagination can help address the climate crisis. As a linguist, her activism focuses on how to communicate the climate crisis in a way which is accessible and relevant for people. Rosalind currently represents Northern Ireland as ‘BBC Young Climate Reporter’ and works with BBC NI to produce climate stories as part of BBC’s coverage of COP26. She also volunteers and campaigns with Friends of the Earth and Tearfund to advocate for climate action. Rosalind was shortlisted for ‘Young Global Changemakers Award’ in 2021, and will represent Northern Ireland as a Delegate at the One Young World Summit in Tokyo in 2022. What most excites Rosalind about being part of the FLN COP26 Delegation is the opportunity to engage with other young people, and to address global issues in stimulating and intellectually challenging ways. As a FLN COP26 Delegate, Rosalind will expand her knowledge of the geopolitical landscape and foster strong geo-political alliances to tackle the climate crisis. She will learn about how to create and implement leadership strategies in global contexts, and hopes to use her experience at COP26 to help secure a pioneering climate bill for Northern Ireland.
