Ava Acevedo, a 19-year-old climate activist and Stanford University student, has won an award for her efforts to fight climate change.
Acevedo was one of six people honored Thursday by the California Energy Commission with the 2023 Clean Energy Hall of Fame Award for their "courageous and outstanding work in helping California achieve a 100% clean energy future for all," per a press release.
The commission also named three Clean Energy Champions: Linnea Jackson, a tribal member and general manager of the Hoopa Valley Public Utilities District; Keith Fisher, a teacher at Calexico High School near the Mexican border who trains students to build and maintain electric vehicles; and Frank Jackson, chairman and chief executive officer of the Village Solutions Foundation, a faith-based community development organization that works with low-income and minority communities on energy and environmental issues.
Acevedo won the Youth Game-Changer Award, which "recognizes an individual 18 years of age or younger, or a leader of an organization focused on working with youth who are helping to advance California toward a clean energy future by combating climate change through innovative methods and inspiring a new generation of energy experts, entrepreneurs, and leaders who change the game," per the press release.
