(she / her)
STATE OF MEXICO, MEXICO AND NEW YORK, U.S.

Lucia Rosen is a passionate environmental advocate with a strong focus on water diplomacy and sustainable development. Originally from Mexico, Lucia’s diverse experiences living in both New York City and Paris have shaped her deep connection to global ecological issues. Her academic journey at Phillips Exeter, where she further develops her interest in water-related challenges, has continued to fuel her commitment to making an impact on the planet.

Lucia has been actively involved in environmental efforts, including her work with El Humedal, a critical wetland conservation initiative in Valle de Bravo, Mexico. There, she collaborated on a plant-based water filtration project which addressed the alarming shrinking of the local lake. Her role in the project involved not only researching solutions but also engaging with local communities to develop sustainable practices. Additionally, Lucia further explored a similar project during her visit to a hacienda that had implemented the same filtration system, offering insights into the potential for broader adoption.

She interned at the International Oceanographic Commission at UNESCO during Summer 2024, where she attended the Paris Annual Executive Council Meeting, discussing ocean-related issues with over 100 delegates from around the world. Lucia was able to engage with the high-level discussions on global environmental policies and their impact on young people, reinforcing her commitment to advocating for youth inclusion in environmental decision-making.

Lucia’s work extends beyond water issues to include a range of environmental concerns, focusing on finding practical solutions that can make a positive impact. Her involvement in local initiatives and participation in global discussions highlight her commitment to supporting sustainable development and ensuring young voices are heard in environmental decision-making.
