Ignacio Araya Areyuna
Volunteer, Educator, Activist – Santiago, Chile
I am a geographer and MSc in Climate Change, Development and Policy from the University of Sussex, United Kingdom. I work at the Planning Directorate of the Ministry of Public Works in Chile, focusing on water management, rural drinking water provision and sanitation services. Along with other colleagues at a local university, we are launching a PGT called “Climate Change: Leaderships for the citizenships of the future”. I strongly believe in the perspectives around the “transformation to sustainability”, and work towards civic engagement and systemic changes as I understand the need to move beyond technocratic approaches to address the climate crisis.
Currently, there are a lot of people that still don’t believe in -or know about- climate change in Chile, so I am currently advocating for spreading knowledge and perspectives that will help us to face the climate crisis at the local level while engaging with people from different parts of the world to learn from their lived experience

GlobalConscience.World Ambassadors
We know how committed our Ambassadors are to being part of the solution to what scientists and economists consider to be one of the world’s most crucial problems. Which is why we provide each of our Ambassadors with information, guidance, and tools they can use to become effective climate change influencers on social media. Our Ambassadors help publicize the GlobalConscience.World message and share educational resources any way they can.
They use their individual skills to educate others and show them what each of us can do, as individuals, to fight global warming from our own homes. Our ultimate goal is to have a worldwide network of Ambassadors who communicate with each other and who can help put pressure on corporations and governments to do what is right, because we believe the changes the world needs will happen only with the support of concerned citizens in every country. And that means every one of our Ambassadors can know he or she is not only part of the solution, but a leader in helping to create a better future for everyone.
