From HumanizeHer:
HumanizeHer x Shangri La “Visionary Voices” brings HumanizeHer’s signature conversations to Shangri La, a Center of Cultures & Ideas and Museum of Islamic Art in Honolulu, Hawai’i, featuring three special episodes with visionary women leaders from Hawai’i.
In this episode of HumanizeHer, we sit down with Dawn Lippert to talk about everything she believes about clean energy, community, and how we can build a better world. Her passion for the planet started from her childhood instinct, charging her family a quarter for leaving the lights on.
Two Yale degrees later, that instinct is a global mission. Today, Dawn leads as the CEO of Elemental Impact, her non-profit platform that has deployed over $105 million into climate innovation. While also leading her sister venture fund, Earthshot Ventures, a $94 million private fund. Together, these two engines have unlocked more than $11 billion in additional funding for global solutions. Her portfolio has created 17,200 jobs and avoided 20 million metric tons of CO2.
