Presented as part of CCA’s Graduate Studies Lecture Series Hunter Lovins proposes that citizens, communities, and companies, working together within the market context, are the most dynamic problem-solving force on the planet. For the past 30 years, as an author and promoter of sustainable development, she has worked to build teams that can create and implement practical and affordable solutions. She is the founder and president of Natural Capitalism Inc. and the Colorado-based nonprofit Natural Capitalism Solutions. She has taught at several universities and consulted for a wide array of citizens’ groups, governments, and corporations. In 1982, with her then-husband, she cofounded the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) and served as its CEO for strategy until 2002. Lovins also helped establish, and was for six years assistant director of, the California Conservation Project (Tree People), an urban forestry and environmental education group. As a speaker and consultant Lovins has addressed the World Economic Forum, the U.S. Congress, the World Summit on Sustainable Development, and hundreds of major conferences. She was named a Hero of the Planet by Time magazine. She received her undergraduate degree in sociology and political science from Pitzer College and a law degree from Loyola Law School.
