In 2018, when Licypriya was 6 years old, she went to a UN disaster conference in Mongolia with her father and knew she had to start raising awareness on the issue of climate change.
Since then, Licypriya has repeatedly called for the climate crisis to be included in learning throughout India, by attending protests and writing letters. Her efforts have paid off - two Indian states now include teaching about the climate crisis in their school curriculums. What an amazing achievement! But she isn’t stopping there, now Licypriya is 9, and wants to tackle Delhi’s toxic air pollution levels.
