Franziska Elmer
Franziska Elmer is a science communicator, marine ecology expert and climate pirate based in the Caribbean. In the late 2010s, she taught hands-on Marine Ecology classes until, in 2020, she embarked onto a Climate Sabbatical to contribute full time to climate action. The coral reefs, her career and her students’ careers were on the line. She is stoked that we achieved carbon-neutrality before climate change destroyed all coral reefs and brought other systems past their tipping points. Currently, she is advocating for intersectional environmentalism and negative emission goals, to bring carbon emission down to save levels below 350 ppm. @shooting_seastar
