About Me

Rosa Kouri is currently a graduate student at the Oxford University Centre for the Environment, completing an MSc in Nature, Society, and Environmental Policy. In 2007, Rosa was recognized by the World Conservation Union as one of 25 influential women across the globe leading the fight against climate change. Rosa's experience in youth leadership in climate change ranges from national campaigns to tracking policy on parliament hill to local projects with youth of all ages. Specific activities include being a founding member of the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition, serving as the National Director from 2005-2007 of Canada's largest national youth environmental organization, the Sierra Youth Coalition; founding the Sustainable McGill Project at McGill University in 2004; bicycling the west coast of California in 2003 with the Deconstructing Dinner Caravan; and attending and coordinating youth delegations at the UN climate conferences in Montreal (2005) and Bali (2007). At Poznàn, Rosa will be part of the Communications team of the Canadian Youth Delegation, a group that will ensure Canada and the world have an honest, informed, and heartfelt window to the Poznàn negotiations. Rosa is originally from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and has a Joint Honours BA in Economics and Political Science from McGill University.
