Currently specialising in environmental regeneration issues, and sustainable urban development. Hana holds a degree in Environment and Planning at University of Liverpool, and most recently getting accepted into her Chartership & Msc at University of Oxford.

In personal life her approach to activism is through creativity – through art, as a Dancer, and regularly practising Yoga. As a student, Hana has already managed more experiences than many have in a lifetime from dedicating her life to protecting our planet…

Hana created and is developing a service dedicated to E-waste recycling focused on the intersection between technology & climate change, for healthier cities and a circular economy. She is also involved with the United Nations UNFCCC, and is currently the COP29 Partnerships Officer for Europe’s largest climate youth NGO, after most recently being selected as the official UK Youth delegate and Climate Policy Lead to COP28. Hana has been part of scientific research in the most challenging locations; oceans, mountainous environments to living/working in the heart of the Rainforest.

A international voice for youth and climate on a global level, Hana has presented her voice on climate for TV high level broadcasts, and made appearances in leading media articles across the Middle East, and many more. Her activism has led her to present at House of Lords, United Nations, and Mexican Congress, Parliament of Mexico – leading to being elected as the Coordinator to the UK Global Peace Forum Conference, and also creating her own successful public sustainability events.

Hana grew up with stories from the jungle from her Mother, and stories of diverse nature from her Middle Eastern roots, but was brought up in two very contrasting areas both Toxteth L8 and around Countryside of Liverpool, for Hana, the concept of nature only ever evoked images of untouched wilderness or exotic biodiversity, rather than empty cultivated green land or living in inner-city. Fast forward at 17, Hana had a unique opportunity to take part in a work placement in heart of the jungle of Borneo at the Tropical Rainforest Research Conservation Centre, and a volunteer led-Raleigh International expedition. As a teenager, Hana never knew climate change would later become her lifes dedication and career, until diagnosed with Cancer during the first year of University, which led her to discover the growing threat between Planetary health and Human health. After passing her foundation studies in Engineering at University of Southampton, Hana continued her studies in a degree in Environment & Planning alongside cancer treatment so she could learn more about Environmental Science & Urban health.

Hana’s goal out of all of this is to serve as a positive example for fellow Cancer survivors and general Youth in the North of England.
