Mya-Rose Craig - We Have a Dream

Dr Mya-Rose Craig is a bidder, and activist and the youngest holder of an Honorary Doctorate, which was awarded by the University of Bristol. In November 2020 she was included in the Woman's Hour Power List 2020. Mya has written a book featuring 30 other young activists campaigning for a better world, many of them teenagers. In this interview, she talks to Nikki Gamble about We Have a Dream. We Have a Dream Indigenous people and people of colour are disproportionately affected by climate change, yet often aren't heard in global conversations. In this book, British-Bangladeshi environmentalist and race activist 'Birdgirl' Mya-Rose Craig speaks to campaigners from around the world about what needs to be done. From wildlife conservation to clean water, air pollution to plastic waste, climate justice to climate strikes, the time has come to listen to a generation of young people of colour demanding urgent change for the world they will inherit.
