Meet Carla Lima, ambassador from Portugal. Carla Meet Carla Lima, ambassador from Portugal.

Carla is a young finance professional actively engaged in climate action at both the local and international level. 🌍 In 2024, she was awarded Winner of the NATO Youth Summit Challenge in Miami with an innovative proposal on climate finance, and she was later invited to speak on this topic at the United Nations ECOSOC Youth Forum in New York.

She has been recognized as a national Climate Activist by the Youth Institute, UNDP, and the General Directorate of Environment and Climate Action of São Tomé e Príncipe, reflecting her dedication to advancing youth-led energy transition initiatives while bringing a financial perspective to climate adaptation efforts, especially across the Global South. 💡

Carla recently participated in a national workshop in São Tomé and Príncipe that resulted in the creation of seven Youth Climate Action Committees, supported by UNDP and UNICEF, to strengthen grassroots climate action. 

During the workshop, she contributed to the design and approval of the national Youth Climate Action Plan, which included district-specific projects and community awareness activities aimed at empowering young leaders as local “climate champions” and providing them with seed funding to implement their action plans. 🌱

For Carla, promoting climate justice from the Global South is a core mission. Supporting the rise of a youth climate movement rooted in local knowledge and aligned with São Tomé and Príncipe’s CPLP presidency theme Youth and Sustainability was a deeply meaningful experience. ✨

SES26 X COP30 ⚡️🇧🇷 At COP30 in Belém, cities take SES26 X COP30 ⚡️🇧🇷

At COP30 in Belém, cities take center stage.
Today’s Thematic Day on Cities, Infrastructure & Water brings this discussion to the forefront, showing how urban areas face the greatest climate risks yet hold the keys to a fair and resilient energy future.
