Tori Tsui, born in Auckland, New Zealand, and raised in Hong Kong, initially pursued medicine at the University of Oxford before switching to natural sciences. She completed a Master of Research in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation at Imperial College London in 2015, intending to pursue a PhD. However, she deferred and later withdrew, moving to Bristol to work in the natural history documentary industry, including a period working on BBC Springwatch before transitioning out of wildlife filmmaking.
Tsui’s career shifted significantly towards activism, notably with Extinction Rebellion. In 2019, she was scouted at a protest by Stella McCartney’s creative director and was invited to model in McCartney’s global Fall/Winter ‘Agents of Change’ campaign, which also featured Jane Goodall and Amber Valletta. This 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.
Throughout her career, Tsui has been recognized for her contributions to environmental advocacy. In 2021, she co-launched the ‘Pass the Mic’ initiative to spotlight frontline climate activists. She has been involved with the Stop Rosebank coalition and works with organizations like Brian Eno’s Earth Percent and In Place of War’s Earth Sonic. In January 2023, she was featured on the digital front cover of Vogue alongside Billie Eilish and other climate activists. Her debut book, ‘It’s Not Just You,’ released in 2023, won Waterstones’ Best Books of 2023 for Popular Science and was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize, further establishing her as a significant voice in discussions around climate anxiety and collective liberation.
