Part of our Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Events

NETWORKING + PANEL

One year ago, scientists sounded a “final warning” over our climate emergency: rising greenhouse gas emissions are pushing our global environment toward irrevocable damage, requiring decisive action.

To change this trajectory, our planet needs leaders in different sectors—energy, finance, technology, design, policy, and many more—to work together to collectively move the needle on climate. Yet Asian American professionals remain underrepresented in environmental science and allied fields of sustainability.

What areas of sustainability are in greatest need of vision and leadership? How can you build the business case for new climate solutions within your corporation? Can Asian Americans step up as climate leaders, whatever your profession?

Whether you are a recent graduate or an established professional interested in amplifying your climate impact, join SAPAAC as we convene sustainability professionals for an engaging discussion and networking during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

Panelists:
Andrew Chang, Managing Director, Activate New York, former Department of Energy
Melissa Zhang, Melissa Zhang, Energy Transition Investor, Azimuth Capital Management, former founder & BlackRock

Josephine Lau, SAPAAC Board Member (moderator)
