Not enough data
Yessenia Funes covers a wide range of topics related to climate change, environmental justice, and renewable energy. Her articles often cite data and government announcements, indicating an interest in evidence-based reporting and policy developments. She also explores the scientific aspects of climate change while highlighting its cultural and societal impacts.
Given her focus on citing data and government announcements, she may be interested in pitches that provide access to exclusive or hard-to-find data related to climate change or environmental policies.
