Planetary Innovator Speaker Series

​The series will highlight people who are innovators in the broadest possible sense of the word: from entrepreneurs to researchers to activists to investors. Speakers could be anyone working on an innovative solution to some aspect of the climate and environmental crisis, with an active effort being taken to invite speakers representing a wide range of diverse backgrounds. A special focus of this series is to elevate missing voices in the current innovation ecosystem and center them in the conversation, for example those taking action internationally and at the grassroots level. The series is envisioned to have a hybrid (in-person and remote) format. This could mean bringing in speakers remotely and hosting in-person viewing sessions, with other creative and flexible formats as options.
