About
The Carbon Newbie Summit is a place where professionals and individuals who are newer to climate can get the lowdown on all things carbon. Learn from experts, network with attendees, and walk away with concrete actions on how you can help reduce our impact on the planet.
The first Carbon Newbie Summit was hosted at NYC Climate Week 2023 with sponsor Climate Collective, venue sponsor IndieBio and hosts Clever Carbon, Carbon Almanac, and Carbon Better.
The summit was founded by Michelle Li, founder of Clever Carbon and Women and Climate.
“"Getting started in climate can be intimidating. The Carbon Newbie Summit aims to create a welcoming space for those new to climate and provide a strong foundation of knowledge and skills for accelerated and impactful climate action."

Our goal at clever carbon is to raise carbon footprint literacy in a hip and fun way. By understanding and quantifying our impact through carbon footprint data, consumers can make informed decisions #carbonlabels will become mainstream. Our 2 min carbon footprint quiz helps people understand where their impact comes from, and helps them get started on their journey towards #clevercarbondecisions
The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between hundreds of writers, researchers, thinkers, and illustrators that focuses on what we know, what has come before, and what might happen next. Almanacs have been around since Benjamin Franklin, and even in the age of the web, they serve a useful function. Collecting relevant tables, facts, explanations, lists and history in a format that’s easy to reference and share gives us a chance to agree on what we agree on, a common foundation for moving forward.
CarbonBetter® helps businesses align environmental and financial goals when navigating the transition to a net-zero emissions future by measuring, reducing, reporting, and offsetting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a transparent way, supporting clients at every stage of their sustainability journey. We are part of a rapidly accelerating shift that will transform companies of all sizes and types. When one company makes a move in the right direction, others will too—and these incremental changes add up to massive impacts. Together, step by step, we’re building a movement.
