Description
Paul Andersen, is Inuk from the Nunatsiavut region of Northern Labrador. He is also from and lives in Makkovik, Labrador. He is currently the local Recreation & Youth Coordinator for Makkovik. He first really became interested in clean energy when he worked as a labourer on a transmission line project, with the source being a dam. Makkovik is an isolated community. They have no cellphone service, and no roads linking to any other town. Their only source of energy in Makkovic is diesel generators, and after having worked on a dam project, and seeing new projects happening all over the country he would love to be able to do the same with his community. Climate change is real, and it is our job to contain it.
