Some time between guiding young people in the Australian and Canadian high country and doing environmental and climate research at ANU, Sam realised a few things he already probably knew: 1. The mountain environments and the communities they create all over the world hold a deep place in his heart; 2. Those same environments he has gotten to enjoy were changing fast under climate change and 3. He needed to help do something about that.
Sam now finds himself spreading his time between his outdoor passions and his advocacy, focusing on protecting the mountains and communities he loves. He can speak to climate impacts and solutions in the context of the Australian Alps.
