At the heart of it, overcoming climate change is a tale of resilience, innovation, perseverance, creativity, and storytelling. Michelle Li, a former Silicon Valley tech worker, will take you on a journey of discovery, sharing the pivotal role of carbon literacy in the climate crisis and exploring its transformative potential of measuring and changing carbon literacy to combat climate change. Her keynote explores how educating leaders, policymakers, and individuals can drive effective climate solutions by providing a solid foundation of literacy in a way that is hip, fun, relatable, scalable, and impactful. Her transformative journey from the average tech worker to becoming a Global Climate Champion will leave the audience inspired and ready for action.
How does a tech leader become a global force for climate action? In this powerful keynote, Michelle Li shares her remarkable journey from scaling giants like Salesforce to igniting a worldwide movement for sustainability. This isn't just a story; it’s a blueprint for purpose-driven transformation. Michelle reveals the actionable lessons learned while building her groundbreaking initiatives—clever carbon and Women and Climate. She unpacks how to apply a founder's mindset to any challenge, build powerful communities from scratch, and turn personal passion into scalable impact. Audiences will leave with a compelling vision for a thriving, carbon-literate future and the inspiration to forge their own path of meaningful change.
As a conference producer, I’m always on the look out for game changing solutions and individuals creating a meaningful impact. Michelle's support at our CCUS Forum
in Doha was nothing short of exceptional. She launched a "Women and Climate" event as part of the forum that energized the audience and rallied women to work in
climate, and in her role as the Master of Ceremonies for our full day of technical workshops was truly inspiring. Michelle not only motivated our attendees to connect and engage but also encouraged us all to be mindful of our carbon footprint throughout the event. Her unwavering professionalism, dedication, and inventive ideas have
significantly elevated the quality of our conferences. We consider ourselves fortunate to have crossed paths with Michelle and are eagerly anticipating her return for our
upcoming event – preparations are already underway!

Michelle Li was a keynote speaker at our annual Tech Conference. Michelle was a consummate professional throughout the entire planning process. Michelle has a masterful understanding of the carbon footprint of common, everyday actions and what is required for employees to feel empowered to create meaningful change within their own companies. Her talk was engaging, timely, and relevant and her "carbon footprint quiz" was informative and fun and fully aids others in making more informed, sustainable decisions every day. I highly recommend Michelle as a speaker for conferences.
