Sustainability Director, Board advisors

You're navigating a critical time: climate goals matter more than ever, but AI adoption is accelerating at a crazy pace.
Whether you're leading sustainability efforts in your organization, advising clients on responsible AI, or building expertise as you enter the field, we all have the same questions.
"What's the real carbon cost of different AI models? What about water consumption?"
Yet it's hard to get information and nothing brings it all together into a coherent framework.
This course changes that.
You'll learn the real numbers: how different AI models consume energy and water differently, what drives carbon emissions in training versus inference, and how to lower your footprint. Then you'll master the practical side: which models to use for your sustainability work and how to implement AI tools that makes you life easier and get ahead of the curve.
After completing this course, you will have a clearer perspective on the pros and cons of using AI, when to use it and how to leverage it for sustainability.
Understand AI's environmental cost. Master carbon and water impacts. Become a credible expert on AI and Sustainability.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting Nina for a live webinar in our Climate Careers series, where we explored the future of sustainability careers through the lens of AI. Nina was absolutely incredible, her insights were deeply informed, practical, and thought-provoking. The audience stayed fully engaged, with questions and ideas flowing throughout the entire session. I’m already looking forward to collaborating with Nina again in the future, and I couldn’t recommend her enough!

I have had the pleasure of working for Nina for nearly two years. She brings a deep expertise across sustainability and AI paired with a genuine curiosity that drives her to continuously learn, grow, and expand her knowledge.
Nina is an exceptional team leader who carries herself with both confidence and calm, creating a positive and focused environment for those around her. She has a natural ability to guide teams effectively while remaining approachable and supportive.
She is also a highly skilled public speaker, with a clear passion for engaging and educating her audience. Whether speaking to a small group or a larger audience, Nina communicates with clarity, purpose, and impact. I would highly recommend Nina in any capacity and feel very lucky to have learned so much under her guidance.

Willow Lynn
I worked with Nina when she spoke at TEDx Coolhaven Women, which I organized. I selected her because I saw something great in her energy and point of view, and she absolutely delivered. I really loved how committed she was throughout the process. She prepared thoroughly and gave a clear, confident, and personal talk that connected well with the audience.
Nina is a strong speaker with a natural presence on stage. I’m happy to recommend her for future speaking opportunities.

Natalia Horvath
Nina is a natural team leader at Brightest, where she regularly runs team learning sessions on AI and Sustainability. Her expertise on the subject is evident, and she has a way of translating complex concepts into simple terms for technical and nontechnical audiences alike.
Nina is both an engaging and enthusiastic teacher who always leaves her students with new perspectives and actionable takeaways from her lessons. She is solutions-oriented, and approaches the conversation around AI and the environment with both pragmatism and optimism. I have learned a lot from Nina and would recommend her course to anyone curious about the intersection of AI and sustainability!
