Lucas Joppa

I lead sustainability at Microsoft as the company's first Chief Environmental Officer and work to advance Microsoft’s core commitment to sustainability through ongoing technology innovation, program development, policy advancement, and global operational excellence. With a combined background in both environmental science and data science, I am committed to using the power of advanced technology to help transform how society monitors, models, and ultimately manages Earth’s natural resources. I founded Microsoft’s AI for Earth program in 2017—a five-year, $50 million cross-company effort dedicated to delivering technology-enabled solutions to global environmental challenges.
