    Meet our Ambassador: Reny Septiani

    Reny Septiani is a People For Nature Ambassador supporting the Citizen COP national agenda and communications for 2026, building on her previous volunteering role in 2025.

  • Meet Our Ambassador: Aiko Nagae

    Meet Our Ambassador: Aiko Nagae

    Aiko Nagae is a People For Nature Ambassador supporting the Citizen COP national agenda and communications for 2026, building on her previous volunteering role in 2025.

    Aiko is a public health researcher and practitioner whose work sits at the intersection of gender-based violence, climate change, and planetary health across the Asia-Pacific region. Her approach brings together evidence, lived experience, and systems thinking to support more integrated responses to complex global challenges.

    She recently completed an internship with UNFPA, where she focused on addressing harmful practices in Asia. This experience deepened her commitment to advancing gender equality and strengthening community-led approaches to health and protection.

    Aiko has also been actively involved in a student-led Planetary Health Club at Griffith University, where she explored ways to break down disciplinary silos and encourage collective action on shared environmental and health challenges.

    Through her research and programme experience, Aiko’s work centres on translating evidence into practical, real-world action — with a strong focus on planetary health, gender equality, and climate resilience.

    In her role with People For Nature, she is helping support the communications and coordination of Citizen COP Australia, contributing to a growing national movement that connects citizens, science, and policy into shared climate action.

  • Meet our Ambassador: Marta

    Meet our Ambassador: Marta

    Marta is part of the communications team shaping Citizen COP 2026, helping us share the story of People For Nature and amplify the voices behind Australia’s local response to the 2026 UN Climate Change Conferences.

    Marta has lived and worked across Europe, the United States, Latin America, and now calls Australia home. This global journey has shaped both her worldview and her creative practice, bringing a rich cross-cultural lens to everything she does.

    She has spent much of her career in advertising, working with major brands and agencies as a creative director and copywriter. But over time, something shifted.

    Marta no longer wants to use her creativity to make big corporations’ shareholders richer. Instead, she wants her work to serve something more meaningful — organisations that care for people, communities, and our fragile planet.

    When she met Audrey and learned about People For Nature — and its guiding motto “Radical collaboration with stubborn optimism” — she knew she had found the right place to contribute.

    Marta brings deep expertise in branding, communication strategy, creative direction, and copywriting across multiple channels. She is passionate about crafting ideas that don’t just inform, but move people — emotionally and into action.

    She is especially excited to help amplify Citizen COP Australia, People For Nature’s local, citizen-led response to the 2026 UN Climate Change Conferences — helping bring more voices into the conversation and turning awareness into participation.
