She works internationally with leaders across sectors in education, finance, energy, communication and sustainability including University of Cambridge, the UN, and national governments.

In a series of lush, detailed scenes, readers will enter a world of solar-powered vehicles, regenerated rainforests, skyscraper farms, insect-based snacks, recovering coral reefs, wave-powered electricity, and much more.
