As a Grist 50 awardee, Clairmont joins a distinguished community of change-makers, innovators, and thought leaders who are shaping the future of sustainability and environmental advocacy. Each year, the Grist 50 list highlights individuals who demonstrate extraordinary leadership, creativity, and impact in their respective fields, inspiring others to take meaningful action in the fight against climate change.<\/p>\n

Clairmont was recognized alongside the other Grist 50 awardees at the annual Grist 50 Gala, held in New York city on September 19, 2023.
