Selina Leem is a climate warrior and a poet from the large ocean nation of Aelōn̄ Kein Ad, the Marshall Islands. Crediting her late grandfather for her deep awareness of the fate of her home, she has made it her mission to globally raise awareness of the climate crisis.

Representing the Marshall Islands at the age of 18, Leem was the youngest delegate at the 2015 UN Climate Change Conference in Paris. Alongside then Marshall Islands Foreign Minister Tony deBrum, they delivered the closing statement for their country. Leem went on to many other global stages to speak on behalf of her people, using storytelling and spoken word. Most recently, Leem was a  speaker at the 2021 TED Countdown Summit.
