The race to mitigate climate change is on – a global and wildly diverse movement, creating countless opportunities for us all to act.
Decarbonizing the global economy and protecting the planet is the challenge of our time. Our work today will shape the lives of future generations, the resilience of threatened species and ecosystems, and the fabric of our communities, culture and society. The response to this challenge is already unprecedented – a mobilization of creativity, human energy and financial resources for a common cause unlike anything before in human history. As climate change’s influence on our lives grows steadily, creating new opportunities, new thinking and new industries, we all have a role to play. Invested in Climate aims to help people find opportunities for positive impact through their work, investments, learning, lifestyle and activism.
My name is Jason Rissman. I launched Invested in Climate to share the conversations fueling my optimism and commitment to climate action.
I’ve worked on climate change efforts for over 20 years — from startups, to Google, IDEO, NationSwell, and now more startups. Way back when, I got my start in entrepreneurship by running a hot dog stand, eating two hot dogs a day for an entire summer. (I now wish they were plant-based.)

My name is Julie Mai. As Head of Communications & Marketing of Invested in Climate, my role involves strategy and execution to bring attention to climate solutions that can address the toughest collective challenge of our time. Over the past decade, I've been involved in various social impact and systems change efforts, spanning human rights, education, public health, criminal justice, homelessness, food insecurity, economic empowerment, racial justice, and environment & climate. I also serve as the Senior Manager of Innovation at Larta Institute, an organization on a mission to foster science and technology for a sustainable planet, and am a Founding Board Member of Intersectional Environmentalist, a climate justice collective radically imagining a more equitable and diverse future of environmentalism.
