Kate Yeo (born 2001) is a youth climate activist from Singapore.

Activism

Climate

In 2018, Yeo started a campaign BYO Bottle SG to advocate against single-use plastics in Singapore.[1] The initiative has worked with 231 drink stalls and reached out to close to 10,000 people.[2][3] She achieved 2nd Prize in the Goi Peace Foundation International Essay Contest for Young People for her essay titled “The Battle Against Plastic Pollution”.[4]

Yeo was one of the organisers of the We The Planet climate strikes for Earth Day 2020.[5] She then co-founded Re-Earth Initiative, an international youth-led NGO striving to make the climate movement more accessible to all.[6] She also helped to organise the Virtual Youth Environment Assembly, organised by the U.N. Environmental Programme’s youth constituency.[7] In April 2021, she was a panellist at the Othering & Belonging Summit, alongside writer and climate activist Naomi Klein and other youth advocates Tokata Iron Eyes, Xiye Bastida and Samia Dumbuya.[8] She attended the COP27 conference in Egypt in 2022 to look at how the international trade of carbon credits will be rolled out.[9] After the conference, she spoke about feeling frustrated at the lack of progress but remaining "stubbornly hopeful".[10]

Yeo is also a founder of Fossil Free Dartmouth, a group calling on Dartmouth College to cut financial ties with fossil fuel companies. [11] In October 2023, she co-authored a report criticizing connections between the Arthur L. Irving Institute for Energy and Society and Irving Oil. [12][13]

In 2023, she was named to the Eco-Business Youth A-List which recognizes "the most impactful young sustainability leaders across Asia Pacific".[14] [15]

COVID-19 Initiative

During the pandemic, Kate started an initiative to support local hawkers in Singapore. Her family purchased bulk orders of food and drinks which were given to residents at a halfway house.[16]

Nitrogen fixation

Conversion of molecular nitrogen into biologically accessible nitrogen compounds Nitrogen fixation is a chemical process by which molecular dinitrogen (N2) is converted into ammonia (NH3).[1] It occurs both biologically and abiologically in chemical industries. Biological nitrogen fixation or diazotrophy is catalyzed by enzymes called nitrogenases.[2] These enzyme complexes are encoded by the Nif genes (or Nif homologs) and contain iron, often with a second metal (usually moly...
