Licypriya Kangujam began her journey as an environmental activist at just eight years old, driven by a powerful sense of responsibility to protect her community and the planet. Her commitment to climate justice quickly gained international recognition, leading to her appointment as the Special Envoy of Timor-Leste for Climate Change by the Presidência da República Democrática de Timor-Leste. In this role, Licypriya amplifies the voices of young people on a global scale, urging world leaders to take decisive action for a sustainable future. Through her organization, the Child Movement, she unites youth worldwide to advocate for policies that will secure a healthier, more just planet. For Licypriya, this mission is deeply personal—a call to protect her generation’s right to a livable world.
