Hannah Ferguson is the New Face of Climate Action in Australia
Australia’s environment group, ACF, has welcomed Hannah Ferguson as their national ambassador. Ferguson is a prominent political commentator, author, and podcaster, known for her engaging views on social issues and her efforts to connect with younger Australians.
As co-founder of Cheek Media and host of the podcast Big Small Talk, she has become a significant voice for the youth. Her book Bite Back was a bestseller, and she was included in Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Earlier this year, she made headlines with a compelling speech at the National Press Club about the future of media.
Ferguson aims to spotlight urgent climate issues and the need to protect Australia’s unique nature. “I’m proud to work with ACF to raise awareness for future generations,” she stated. Her role includes supporting national campaigns and energizing youth to advocate for climate action.
Recently, Ferguson experienced the devastating effects of climate change firsthand during a trip to Ningaloo Reef. “Seeing the damage was heart-wrenching,” she said. “ACF’s respectful engagement with local communities to understand their challenges stood out to me.”
Kelly O’Shanassy, ACF Chief Executive, believes Ferguson’s involvement is vital. “Hannah’s intellect and passion for social equity are exactly what our climate movement needs,” she noted. “She can inspire and mobilize young people to drive change.”
Recent data indicates that young Australians are increasingly concerned about climate change. A survey by the Australian Youth Climate Coalition showed that over 70% of youths feel that local action is essential. This growing awareness makes Ferguson’s role even more relevant as she taps into these sentiments.
Ferguson’s vibrant social media presence resonates with a new generation, making her a perfect ambassador for this cause. Her unique perspective can help bridge the gap between climate science and public understanding, motivating young Australians to be active participants in shaping a sustainable future.
In a world facing climate challenges, Ferguson’s mission is clear: inspire, educate, and rally the next generation. The journey ahead is crucial, and with voices like hers, hope for change continues to grow.
