Lily YangLiu began activism at age 10, recognizing by 13 that youth voices were often tokenized. This sparked her commitment to inclusive political and environmental decision-making. She now leads K–12 Climate Literacy, developing early climate education for BC schools, and the Katija Hyoungjoo Neuber Institute, organizing youth delegations to the UN, IMF, and World Bank.

Her advocacy extends to YOUNGO, supporting 10,000 young climate advocates, and roles with Children First Canada and Youth Climate Corps BC. Named a Top 25 Woman of Influence in Canada, YangLiu believes "activism isn’t about noise; it’s about care, appreciation, and building inclusive communities," a principle guiding her work.
