Episode Details

About Candice Ammori: Climate Vine brings together Founder Candice Ammori’s 10 years of experience and learnings in community strategy building.

After reading the 2018 IPCC report, Ammori realized the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration in addressing climate change. She made a career transition from ethics of AI to climate, starting On Deck Climate Tech to help diverse experts meet, connect, and build together.

She brought together 650+ people across the climate ecosystem in multiple cohorts. Fellows raised over $350 M+ in venture funding, more than two dozen companies emerged, and hundreds of emerging contributors transitioned to the climate innovation space. She maintains deep vertical knowledge as an active investor and advisor to emerging climate tech companies.

In this episode, Gary and Candice Ammori discuss:

• AI ethics intersecting with global sustainability
• Systemic and political forces shaping climate responsibility
• Public perception and misinformation in environmental action
• Localized collaboration as a catalyst for global change

Key Takeaways:

• Feedback loops in both artificial intelligence and climate systems reveal how unchecked processes—whether digital or environmental—can rapidly amplify harm when human oversight and accountability are absent.
• Public consensus around the urgency of climate change remains strong, yet outdated systems built on profit-driven incentives and political inertia continue to obstruct collective action and meaningful progress.
