From Dr. Wetchi:

Host Dr. Jules Wetchi chats with Sophi Veltrop and Kashka Orlow, members from the Climate Change Action Office. Climate change is now affecting every country on every continent. It is disrupting national economies and affecting lives, costing people, communities and countries dearly today and even more tomorrow.

Sophi Veltrop joined the Climate Action Office in 2023 to support community engagement and communications efforts. In this role she collects and shares public input about climate action and climate-related policy with decision-makers. Her role also includes making State of Vermont climate information meaningful and accessible to Vermonters. Sophi’s background is in non-profit communications and engagement. She has worked for various land conservation organizations and in extracurricular education. She lives in Woodbury.

Kashka Orlow is a consultant with the Consensus Building Institute, working to support the efforts of the Climate Action Office. She is an activist and a mother. As an immigrant herself, she can personally relate to many of the struggles and challenges faced by immigrant and low-income communities. Her goal is to help uplift the voices of those who are not represented in state and local government. She lives in the Old North End in Burlington with her two daughters.
