I’m Chantal Sun, a 16-year old Year 10 student studying at Australian International School Hong Kong. I first got interested in sustainability last year in Year 9, where I competed in a Hong Kong inter-school competition, ‘Nature Works’, where we were required to pitch an idea that improved our schools' environmental practices. As a result, this led to the formation of our school's first sustainability group, which I am currently an active member of. Since then I have joined organizations surrounding social change as well as currently participating in the ITSF/UNITAR Youth Ambassador Asia-Pacific Programme, all with the aim to create a long lasting impact in developing a sustainable world for future generations. I am mainly passionate around SDGs 1 (No Poverty), 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and 13 (Climate Action).
As a member of the YAC, my position will open me up to a variety of opportunities and upscale my contribution, enabling my impact to reach a wider audience. I’m beyond excited to continue working with the YAC and see what we can collectively accomplish!
