SAN
FRANCISCO, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Atmos
Financial, PBC, a leading climate-finance company, is pleased to
announce that Carol M. Browner will
lead its newly created Advisory Board. Browner is a renowned
environmental leader, and has held roles as the head of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under President Clinton and
the Director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change
Policy under President Obama. Currently, Browner serves as chair of
the Board of Directors for the League of Conservation Voters, a
leading national environmental advocacy organization.
"We are thrilled to welcome Carol
Browner to our team," said Ravi Mikkelsen, CEO of Atmos
Financial. "Her extensive background in environmental policy and
international market-driven solutions align perfectly with our
plans to activate the global banking sector for climate-positive
finance. Her leadership will be invaluable as we continue to
innovate and expand our impact."
During her tenure at the EPA from 1993 to 2001, Browner was
instrumental in implementing significant air quality standards and
accelerating the cleanup of contaminated sites. As President
Obama's climate advisor, she played a key role in coordinating the
administration's climate and energy policies, promoting clean
energy legislation, and advancing vehicle emission standards.
"If we are truly interested in changing the course we need to
make smart investments in our future – that drive cleaner energy
and slash climate pollution," said Browner. "That's why I am so
excited to join Atmos Financial. Their technology will help
resources like the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund deploy capital
more cost-effectively, at greater speed, and amplify their impact
by crowding-in private capital. Atmos Financial is at the forefront
of creating financial solutions that prioritize equitable access to
credit, and I look forward to working with the team to further
their mission."
In this role, Browner will bring decades of experience and
expertise in environmental policy and sustainable development to
help guide Atmos Financial's energy finance initiatives. Both Atmos
and Browner share a common understanding that finance is a critical
lever for changing the trajectory of climate change.
