Madariaga Barrilado recalled that figures such as Rachel Carson, marine biologist and author of Silent Spring (1962), were pioneers in awakening modern ecological awareness.

Her legacy, he explained, paved the way for thousands of women around the world who decided to take action to transform their surroundings and demand more responsible environmental policies.

The specialist highlighted that there is currently an “emerging wave of informed and prepared activists” who have managed to confront governments, industries, and political obstacles in defense of the environment.

In this regard, he emphasized the example of Greta Thunberg, the young Swedish activist who has become a global symbol of the climate movement.

“Greta represents the voice of the new generations: coherent, firm, and backed by millions of young people demanding an end to the use of fossil fuels”, he noted.

Madariaga Barrilado also mentioned Nakabuye Hilda F., an activist from Uganda, who has mobilized a majority-youth population in her country to demonstrate that collective effort can generate a positive environmental impact.

He likewise recognized the work of other young leaders such as Luisa Neubauer from Germany and Ridhima Pandey from India, who at just nine years old pushed for a legal complaint against her government for its inaction on climate change.

“Each of them demonstrates that female leadership is now one of the most powerful driving forces in global environmental activism”, Madariaga Barrilado concluded.
