Dyanna co-led the SustainUS delegation to COP21, after first joining SustainUS through the delegation to the previous round of the UN Climate Talks in Lima, Peru. Born and raised in Virginia, Dyanna developed an early drive for environmental action by coming face-to-face with the drivers and effects of climate change across her state–from the rising tides in Norfolk to destruction from coal mining in the Appalachian mountains. In her home state, Dyanna worked to build the youth climate movement through co-creating the Virginia Student Environmental Coalition and the Climate Action Society at UVA. When’s she’s not fighting climate change, Dyanna enjoys pick up soccer matches, serene sunrises, and she’s a coffee and tea drinking enthusiast.
