Recently, GreenBiz announced <\/span>their annual GreenBiz 30 Under 30<\/a><\/b>, which recognizes young professionals for their commitment to mitigating the climate crisis. The stakes are high, and the needs are great for these emerging leaders.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, the GreenBiz 30 Under 30 are tackling climate change at some of the world\u2019s largest corporations, NGOs and government agencies. They work at companies as sprawling and varied as Bank of America, Disney, Hilton, Liberty Mutual, Nike and Wayfair. Or they have launched their own bold ventures. Whether based in Asia, Europe, the Middle East or North America \u2014 from Milwaukee to Manila and from Dubai to Dublin \u2014 these individuals are making an impact around the globe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Take, for example, Madison Barnes, who is mapping Disney\u2019s Scope 3 inventory, from its theme parks to its toys. Colorado atmospheric scientist Emily Sambuco is helping Liberty Mutual assess climate risk. DaWan Smith II is engineering mobile energy backup systems for disaster zones at Sesame Solar in Michigan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019re engineers and analysts, founders and funders, innovators and investors. They\u2019re building trust in carbon markets, decarbonizing global supply chains and electrifying transportation. They\u2019re encouraging Big Ag to adopt regenerative practices and popularizing crops that support biodiversity. They\u2019re getting the fossil fuels out of disaster relief and industrial chemicals. They\u2019re furthering innovations for low-carbon buildings and infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the process, many are also toiling to empower groups \u2014 including women, Indigenous populations and Black people \u2014 historically excluded from the centers of power and profit.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s cohort was selected by the GreenBiz editorial team from more\u00a0than\u00a0300 applicants and nominees from around the world. A broad range of criteria was considered for the final cut, including each candidate\u2019s demonstrable past accomplishments in advancing corporate sustainability and their potential to influence and accelerate decarbonization efforts into the future. The 2023 honorees join the ranks of an accomplished group of 240 young climate innovators GreenBiz has honored since 2016, who have ambitiously furthered their climate goals and careers ever since.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
