Biographical Information
"Hanna leads on Otesha’s green jobs work with the East London Green Jobs Alliance. She’s running a demonstration project designed to take young, unemployed people in East London through a “jobs pipeline” into green and decent employment. In the past, Hanna graduated from Cambridge with a BA in Classics, has an MSc in Climate Change & Policy from Sussex, was Programmes Manager for Otesha (coordinating no less than 5 cycle tours!), and was a Campaigner and Coordinator for the UK Youth Climate Coalition, delivering the first ever Youth Intervention speech to the UN Climate Change Conference plenary in Poznan in 2008 and going off to the UN again as part of the youth delegation to Copenhagen in 2009. Hanna is an experienced deliverer of anti-oppression workshops, being especially interested in the concepts of environmental racism and environmental justice, and loves exploring how the green jobs movement can address these issues."
