Nhattan Nguyen, Student

As the Operations and Outreach Coordinator for Climate Action Network Canada, Nhattan (he/him) oversees the administration and operations for a diverse coalition of over 130 organizations across the country. After spending the past few years in Ottawa on Algonquin Anishinaabe territory, he now works and studies in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal) on the unceded territory of the Kanien’kehà:ka.

Nhattan has almost 10 years of organizing experience, supporting the participation and collaboration of communities in environmental decision-making and advocacy, from helping youth challenge the status quo at UN climate negotiations to working with frontline and grassroots activists fighting for Indigenous rights and racial justice.

When not working or indulging in baking therapy in his kitchen, you can find him out and about on trails or rivers, cycling, running, skiing, skating, or paddling.

Nhattan completed a BA with Joint Honours in Geography and International Development Studies at McGill University, with a particular research interest in civic space and participation. With the MPNL program, he wants to explore how to make our organizational policies and movement spaces more safe, just, and joyful through learning from emerging ideas of accountability, abolition, decolonization, healing justice, transformative justice, and trauma stewardship.
