Morning Keynote

Katie Patrick, Environmental Engineer & Design, Author of How to Save the World

I design apps, dashboards, and campaigns that sharply tap into people's motivational core, applying techniques used in game design and behavioral science to create environmental action.


I've advised organizations including UNEP, NASA JPL, Google, the U.S. State Department, University of California, the European Commission, Dassault Systemes, Institute for the Future, Magic Leap, Stanford University, and many impact startups on environmental behavior design.   


I'm the co-founder of Energy Lollipop and Urban Canopy in San Francisco —  startups that are devoted to bringing down the peak CO2 released by the electricity grid. We just launched a Chrome extension that shows the California grid emissions in real-time. 


As a big fan of biophilic architecture and ecotopia futures, I host a group called The Imagine Project to encourage the practice of imagining a greener world. I also gave a TEDx talk in 2020 and spoke at the UN General Assembly in 2021 on the role of creativity, optimism, and imagination in environmental change.
