Voices that Challenge

May we hear their Voice!

Archana Soreng is a 26-year-old Tribal Climate Activist from Odisha working to empower indigenous communities.

Soreng is one of the seven members chosen for the United Nations Secretary General’s Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change. She located the fight against climate change in the idea of supporting the indigenous people living in the forests and taking care of the biodiversity.  For Soreng, kindness travels through working for vulnerable people who matter and who can become an important factor in climate action. This is her story of kindness to the environment, climate, and indigenous communities, and making a tangible change that helps the world.
