Salina Abraham, IFSA President (International Forestry Students’ Association, Netherlands), interviewed by Sophie Schoenaich-Carolath (Die Kuppel, Germany)
Absolutely, your passion for sustainability and the well-being of our planet is commendable. It's crucial to recognize that sustainability is an inclusive and holistic endeavor that requires a unified effort from all global leaders. We must hold them accountable for the stewardship of our one and only planet, Earth. However, it's important to acknowledge that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) might sometimes appear to serve the interests of the elites rather than focusing solely on the planet's needs. Therefore, it is imperative for brilliant minds like Salina to act independently and mobilize the youth. By doing so, we can ensure that our influence on policymakers is impartial and not swayed by partial agendas. Finally, I am ready to play my role in this movement. Together, we can impartially influence policymakers and drive meaningful change. Best wishes in our collective effort to save the planet from global warming. Let's make our voices heard and our actions count.
