From Typhoon Haiyan to COP30: Marinel Ubaldo on Climate Justice and What COP30 Must Deliver

When Super Typhoon Haiyan tore through the Philippines, 16-year-old Marinel Ubaldo watched her world wash away and learned a truth million on the frontlines already know: climate change is not a distant threat, but a lived injustice. Since then she’s become a fearless voice for accountability, loss and damage, and community-powered resilience. In this EQUALS episode, Marinel takes us inside the night Haiyan hit, how her community rebuilt, and the extraordinary human-rights case she helped push forward to hold fossil fuel giants to account. She also reflects on what real leadership looks like in global negotiations as the climate world gathers again in Belem Brazil for COP30. A powerful, grounding conversation about memory, justice, and the courage to keep fighting even when change feels impossibly slow.
