Julia Jackson, Founder, Grounded Summit

Grounded was founded with the mission to do something real and actionable to fundamentally shift the trajectory of climate change. It is the biggest problem we face and we must take radical action now because we did not make incremental change before.

We face a dangerous moment where our climate is becoming a threat to humanity. This is personal just as much as global. That’s why we are focused on finding and accelerating solutions.
