Her work focuses on the intersections of the climate crisis with oppressive systems and making the climate movement a more accessible space.

Her advocacy includes writing for Eco-Age and campaigning with Climate Camp Scotland.
 
In 2020, Forbes, Global Citizen and BBC Woman’s Hour named Mikaela as one of the most influential women in the UK climate movement. In 2021, she was one of three claimants on the “Paid To Pollute” case who took the UK government to court over the huge public payments they give to fossil fuel companies every year.
