Narrative of action against climate crisis needs to change: QF panellists
The Peninsula
Doha: The fight against climate change shouldn’t come out of fear, but out of love, and taking action against the climate crisis means the narrative needs to change, a Qatar Foundation panel session at the Youth4Climate conference in Milan has heard.
“We need a fierce love for the world,” Lina Nayel Al Tarawneh, Co-Founder of Green Mangroves, told a discussion hosted by Qatar Foundation International, a member of Qatar Foundation (QF), during the global youth-driven event.
As a medical student, Al Tarawneh says she wants to see medicine and climate change activism work hand-in-hand. “Both medicine and climate change activism are healing practices. If you look around, we are seeing so many diseases, such as heart diseases and cancers, because of our environment, because of the food we eat,” she said.
