Chandelle is part of the Youth Engagement Group at the Climate Overshoot Commission. Also known as the 'Overshoot Power Rangers', the members of this group are recruited to serve as youth advisors with various expertise, raising the voices of underrepresented groups to tackle the climate overshoot. The members were selected through essays and recommendations from different networks and institutions. 

Chandelle is the 'Green Ranger' in the group and focuses on human rights. The Youth Engagement Group called for a moratorium,similar to the one for Deep Sea mining, among other recommendations including mitigation above all else and the precautionary principle. The group's recommendations were independent of the Commission's final report and these have resulted in the new CARE agenda, which the group is now working more closely with the Commission to develop. 

Chandelle is also a social entrepreneur and sustainable energy specialist with their own enterprise, Mawu Energy Services which supports energy efficiency, sustainable design and resource management in residential and commercial buildings/ properties.
