Folks, we are facing a planetary emergency, and just thinking about the problem is no longer sufficient. Over the last 40 years, we've become the leading civil society organization in promoting the energy transition in working with businesses and industries to accelerate the transition to a zero carbon future. And he created the institute in the roaring Fork Valley near Aspen because he felt that that place would be inspiring for thinking about sustainability. We were started more than 40 years ago by Amory Lovins, a student at Harvard who saw the need for and the opportunity of the energy transition.
RMI is now an organization of 500 people around the world. And for those who aren't familiar, can you just provide a sketch of what is RMI? What's the scope of its activities? I joined RMI about nine years ago as the CEO, and as part of that job, I of course have to help the institute raise the money to do its work, but a lot of my work is also in creating the collaborative efforts across the climate arena with companies, with industries, financial institutions, but also with other civil society organizations. Why don't we start today by just asking you to describe your role at Rocky Mountain Institute, or RMI, as you're known? Jules, thank you so much for joining us here on Climate Rising.
