Melati Wijsen presents the Award for Freedom from Want to Sonîa Guajajara, Brazil’s Minister of Indigenous Peoples. Twenty-something Melati Riyanto Wijsen describes herself as a full-time changemaker. Like Guajajara, the young Indonesian has been pushing for a better climate for years. On the island of her birth, Bali, she and her sister campaigned alongside many local organizations to push for a ban on single use plastic bags. Since founding Bye Bye Plastics Bags, Melati has developed a passion for environmental education and policy change. Through her company YOUTHTOPIA, she shares what she has learned since the age of 12 in classrooms, boardrooms and on world stages. Her film ‘Bigger Than Us’ premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.
