Shyla Raghav is a climate change expert and policy maker. She is the Vice President of Climate Change at the non-profit Conservation International.

Early life and education[edit]

Raghav was born in India and lived in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia, where was witnessed the effects of climate change first hand.[1] While in high school, she encouraged her peers to lower their emissions by switching to LED lightbulbs and taking the stairs instead of the elevator.[2]

She studied ecology and international relations at the University of California, Irvine and holds a master's degree in environmental management from Yale University.[3]

Career[edit]

Raghav worked as a United Nations delegate for the Maldives before joining Conservation International where she oversees conservation efforts in almost 30 countries.[4] She has been a key contributor to the non-profit's carbon footprint calculator, which allows users to input information about their habits to see the impact on the environment.[1]

She participated in the Paris Agreement negotiations.[5]

Raghav is an If/Then ambassador and was featured in the Smithsonian's "#IfThenSheCan - The Exhibit", a collection of life-sized 3D-printed statues of role models in STEM.[3] As part of her ambassadorship, Raghav led a session at the 2020 Teen Vogue Summit where she spoke about effective science communication, shedding stereotypes of women in the workplace, and making an impact on the climate as a teen.[6]
