Tori Tsui, after completing a Master of Research in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation at Imperial College London in 2015, went on to influence climate discourse through her diverse initiatives and acclaimed writing. She initially worked in the natural history documentary industry, including a period on BBC Springwatch, before transitioning to environmental activism. In 2019, Tsui was scouted at a protest by Stella McCartney’s creative director and invited to model in McCartney’s global Fall/Winter ‘Agents of Change’ campaign, which also featured Jane Goodall and Amber Valletta. This pivotal role led to McCartney sponsoring Tsui to sail across the Atlantic to COP25 as part of the Sail To The COP initiative.
While the conference was relocated, Tsui engaged remotely and subsequently facilitated Sail for Climate Action, later rebranded as Unite for Climate Action, focusing on bringing Latin American, Indigenous, and Caribbean youth activists to international climate events. Tsui continued to build on her impactful advocacy, co-launching the ‘Pass the Mic’ initiative in 2021 to spotlight frontline climate activists and ensure diverse voices are heard in the climate conversation. Her commitment to direct action also saw her involved with the Stop Rosebank coalition, campaigning against new oil and gas developments. She further collaborates with prominent environmental organizations such as Brian Eno’s Earth Percent and In Place of War’s Earth Sonic.
Her dedication to environmental justice continued to yield tangible results, with her involvement in the Stop Rosebank campaign contributing to a successful court case against Ithaca Energy and Equinor in 2025. As a leading environmental campaigner, author, and advisor, Tsui continues to shape global climate discourse, leveraging her expertise to drive action and empower diverse communities.
