Hello everyone,
I am Zeinab Salehiankia, a Master of Environmental Science student at Memorial University of Newfoundland. I am passionate about climate change and how we can mitigate its impacts. Climate change affects us all, regardless of geographical or socioeconomic boundaries. My research interests focus on mitigation and adaptation strategies to promote a sustainable future. Additionally, I am collaborating with Econext Newfoundland, the province's foremost not-for-profit association, to help the government and businesses foster green initiatives and eco-friendly practices. I am a volunteer and board member at Climate Facts Atlantic, a student-run organization. Our mission is to enhance public knowledge surrounding climate change/environmental science and promote informed conversations throughout Atlantic Canada.
My dedication to sustainability stems from my experiences in my home country, Iran, where we organized ten workshops and webinars to promote eco-friendly practices for a greener future. I administered pre- and post-intervention surveys to participants of these workshops and webinars, focusing on raising awareness and promoting behavior change for environmental sustainability.
I am happy to be a member of CoSphere and be part of this transformation.🌿
Environmental scientists play a crucial role in understanding and mitigating the impact of human activities on our planet. Their expertise spans across various disciplines, from assessing pollution levels to developing sustainable practices for resource management. For instance, in urban planning projects like Novo apartments, environmental scientists provide essential insights into minimizing ecological footprints and maximizing energy efficiency. Their work involves conducting research, analyzing data, and advising policymakers and developers on best practices to preserve natural resources and biodiversity. By integrating environmental considerations into development projects such as Novo apartments, these scientists contribute to creating healthier and more sustainable living environments for current and future generations.
