And INSPIRE climate roots itself in this simple truth: no one will solve this one alone.
Hi, I'm Katherine. I'm the peer who invites you to connect with others on this epic adventure.
Bringing people together on adventures - big and small - is one of the things I just can't help doing, over and over.I've convinced friends to run up to 25 km with me to celebrate my birthday. I brought graduate economic students and professors to participate in a research speed dating event. I brought five hydro companies together with climate science researchers to breach the gap in practical knowledge to include climate data in hydrological projections for asset valuation. I've convinced 15 teenagers to drop their phones and observe the Grand Canyon with all of their senses, in silence, for 10 minutes. And I immigrated to Japan with my husband, while neither of us is Japanese.With INSPIRE climate, I merge together my decade of experience in climate mitigation and adaptation as an economist with my insatiable desire to bring wonderful people together on nourishing, joyful and regenerative adventures.I believe that people who work in climate share in the best qualities humans can display. You dedicate yourself to your work so that other humans - and species - can have a safe, thriving existence and future. Naturally, I want to bring people like you together. And find ways to pour in your proverbial cup, so it never becomes empty on our path to building a safe climate future.
