Achievements from Our Community

Congratulations to Claire (Narida) Charanchitta, 12H who recently had the opportunity of representing Thailand as a youth delegate at the United Nations Headquarters in New York during the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development. She addressed SDG 14: Life Below Water, focusing on marine conservation and seagrass restoration, causes that have defined her recent work. Seagrass meadows, among the most efficient blue carbon ecosystems, can sequester carbon up to 35 times faster than tropical forests. She also published her work in a UK Journal: https://posthumanism.co.uk/jp/article/view/3002/1736 

At the UN, she highlighted Thailand’s efforts and emphasised that small, localised actions can create meaningful global impact. Hearing from other countries, such as the UAE, reinforced the idea that while contexts differ, nations share a common hope for a sustainable planet. The experience strengthened her commitment to conservation and to empowering young people, reminding her that youth voices are vital in shaping the future.
