Ahmed Eldeeb is an 18-year-old Egyptian-American activist, climate researcher, and author dedicated to merging health and sustainable research in the face of the climate crisis. He is a student at Harvard University and is working on environmental policy.

He’s served on the 4th Cohort of the U.S. Youth Action Council for the UN Ocean Decade, as a member of the Education Working Group Committee and the Communications Team.

Ahmed authored Laila’s Toolbox, a book that not only entertains but enlightens young readers about the profound impact of the climate crisis on human health. Through it, he encourages them to understand their pivotal role in forging a sustainable future. The book is available in major retailers such as Walmart, Barnes & Noble, and Books-A-Million: all proceeds go toward climate relief in Chad.

Beyond his roles as a local youth organizer for Fridays for Future and co-founder of the Florida chapter for FXB, Ahmed underscores the value of climate research as a catalyst for transformation. His work with NASA on sea ice extent and a microplastic cleanup prototype has earned recognition from the Stockholm Junior Water Prize, U.S.A.I.D., and AGU. Ahmed’s passion is clear: forge a sustainable, equitable world filled with promise.
