Leika Patch is an environmental scientist, educator, and advocate whose work explores the vital intersections of ecological stewardship, sustainable agriculture, and Latter-day Saint theology. A 2020 graduate of Brigham Young University in Environmental Science, Patch has emerged as a compelling voice within the Mormon Transhumanist Association (MTA), specifically addressing the cultural and psychological barriers to climate action within faith communities.
Patch’s work focused on leveraging social media platforms, particularly Facebook, to disseminate information and promote climate action. She collaborated with the Mormon Environmental Stewardship Alliance (MESA) on a climate action campaign. Her research highlighted the significant impact of human activity on the environment, emphasizing the need for proactive measures to mitigate climate change.
Patch also explores the intersection of LDS (Latter-day Saint) perspectives and environmental responsibility, referencing talks and symposiums where Church leaders have addressed climate change. She draws upon the research of scholars like Dr. Abbott to underscore the human impact on the planet and advocates for a moral imperative to address global warming.
