#073 Sophia Li & Maria Li: on no digital world without the natural world, web3 for good, the climate funding gap and climate optimism

There is no digital world without the natural world! In this episode, we are speaking to Sophia and Maria Li - two sisters and the co-founders of Steward using digital art to protect our natural world.

Sophia Li is an award-winning multimedia journalist and climate advocate. Harvard named her one of the top climate communicators of 2022 and she is an ambassador for the United Nations Human Rights Division. She is also the host of Meta’s podcast, Climate Talks, and was part of the founding team of Vogue.com.  

Maria Li is the Chief Operating Officer for Tech in Asia, one of the leading digital media publications covering Asia’s tech and startup scene. Prior to Tech in Asia, Maria worked at Apple as a business operations and commercial strategy manager and as an emerging markets consultant with Deloitte. 
We talk about the climate funding gap, web3 and blockchain for impact, the importance of ecological currency, climate optimism/delaying/apathy and so much more.
