Mia Breznau
2024 Climate Influencer

Mia is a dedicated climate activist from the Kalamazoo area with a lifelong passion for Nature. Despite her age, she is a prominent leader in Michigan’s climate advocacy community and has played a pivotal role in advancing climate literacy legislation and passing Michigan’s recent Clean Energy Plan—you may recognize her as MiCAN’s 2023 Youth Climate Leader of the Year!
Outside of the Climate Influencers Program, Mia is a co-founder of National Youth for the Climate Emergency (NYCE) and, most recently, a Senior Leader of SW Michigan’s most prestigious youth activism group, the Ardea Youth Climate Coalition.
Though her activism work focuses mainly on climate education, clean energy, conservation, and regenerative agriculture, her core mission is to help foster connections between her peers and Nature and empower others to recognize the power of their voices in the fight for a sustainable future. She is excited to share her passions with a new audience and inspire others to action as one of MiCAN’s new Climate Influencers!
