Renowned international model and environmental advocate Victoria Michaels proudly represented Africa at the prestigious Austrian World Summit 2025, an influential climate conference hosted by American actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
This year’s summit themed, “Unite in Action, Eliminate Pollution”, brought together changemakers, and sustainability champions to address the urgent challenges of pollution, climate change, and environmental degradation.
Held under the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative, the event once again served as a high-profile platform for the exchange of ideas and innovative climate solutions.
Victoria Michaels’ participation was a proud moment for the African continent, as she joined the voices of such personalities as former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and Austrian Federal President, Alexander Van der Bellen, advocating for sustainable development and environmental justice.
A longtime advocate for green innovation and climate action, Victoria has consistently used her influence to empower underserved communities and amplify the voices of those most affected by climate change. Her work on the ground and through various campaigns highlights the critical role of African voices in the global climate movement.
For her, climate change does not recognise borders. Africa must be part of the global dialogue and solution.
With her strong presence and unwavering dedication, Victoria Michaels continues to inspire a new generation of climate leaders while shining a spotlight on the unique environmental challenges facing Africa.
