Hania Imran, a student from the Department of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, is featured in the documentary “Who If Not Us?”, which sheds light on the work, resilience, and challenges faced by Pakistan’s youth climate activists.

Passionate about climate justice, Hania has represented Pakistan at the UN Climate Change Conferences, including SB64 in Bonn, Germany, where she followed the Just Transition negotiations with the Women and Gender Constituency. She also served as the Press Officer for the Bonn Climate Camp, led its Public Relations and Outreach efforts, and was part of the core team behind the Bridge Programme, which brings young people from the Global South to participate in the Bonn Climate Conference.

Her journey in climate advocacy began during her university years when she travelled to Ormara, Balochistan, to support a youth-led climate camp by helping train participants, raise funds, and develop activities. That experience became the foundation of Who If Not Us?, a documentary that captures the dedication and perseverance of young climate activists working on the frontlines of environmental change in Pakistan.

The documentary had its first screening during London Climate Action Week at the Aga Khan Centre in London and will next be screened in Berlin on 24 July. It is expected to be screened in Lahore in the future, bringing Hania’s inspiring story to audiences closer to home.

Her journey reflects the power of youth leadership in driving meaningful conversations and action on climate justice, both locally and on the global stage.
