Jyoti resides in the Streetsville area of Mississauga. She is currently studying political science at the University of Toronto and believes that governments should be held accountable for the policies they enact that negatively affect our climate. YCI’s Youth Climate Leadership Program has allowed Jyoti’s idea to flourish and has grown her understanding of what it means to be sustainable, what society can do to reduce its carbon footprint and how to advocate for a greener city. Her goal is to ensure that youth understand they can make a change at all levels and that governments will have to listen.
