Reversing global warming may be the greatest challenge of our time. In this wide-ranging interview, Ryan Hagen discusses why he started Crowdsourcing Sustainability, important messages to share for meaningful change, eco-anxiety, Gen Z, where we stand on climate and how to get on the right path, the need for people to take action at all levels (including where we live and work), the top climate solutions to accelerate, and much more. Ryan is the founder of a global sustainability community called Crowdsourcing Sustainability created to educate, connect and ultimately unleash the power of people around the world to help reverse climate change. His goal is to help eliminate greenhouse gas emissions as quickly as possible for a safer, healthier and more just world.

Climate change will continue to increase our risks to extreme weather events. Businesses and communities are looking to understand what to expect in terms of damages, added expenses, and lost revenues in the coming decades. What is the cost of doing nothing in the face of climate change? We have the resources to explore this question - check out the State of Colorado's Future Avoided Cost Explorer (FACE:Hazards). By understanding the dollar value price tag of future extreme weather events, we can make the financial case for investing in our resilience. This information will help us make data-driven decisions that will ultimately save money and help prevent hardships for our communities and economies. Ryan Spies is a Water Resources Scientist with Lynker, LLC in Boulder, Colorado. Ryan specializes in hydro-data analysis and climate-informed impact assessments. Ryan recently led a team of scientists, engineers, and economists on a first of its kind project for the state of Colorado to quantify economic impacts from future climate conditions and population growth. Ryan also enjoys creating interactive data visualizations to communicate environmental data. Having worked for both the public and private sectors, Ryan has conducted flood modeling studies throughout the United States. Ryan is actively involved with projects applying remote sensing applications and sustainable water resources planning. One of Ryan’s biggest passions as a scientist is working with communities and stakeholders to translate complex model outputs into actionable information. Outside of work, Ryan also enjoys fly-fishing, baseball, and hiking in the Rocky Mountains with his wife and daughter.

As the world wakes up to our current crises of litter pollution, we are forced to look at the way we live and rethink the solutions we have. Ryan's building a scheme that has been moulded by learning from the behaviours that encourage the problem and applies that knowledge to a solution that's accessible to everyone. With the aim of launching CLEAN hubs in every city of the UK, he is empowering individuals and groups to be the difference they want to see in a cleaner more sustainable environment. Ryan started his journey against litter pollution around two years ago when he began to notice litter along our roads whilst working on the railway up and down the UK. He realised he had to try do something about it and it had to be something everyone could get on board with. Being a town councillor, he aims to work with other councils and community groups in launching his initiative across the UK.
