Name: Leah Mboya

Title: Climate Technologist & Founder, TerraCode Collective

Background: Leah Mboya is a systems thinker and climate technologist building data tools for planetary resilience. She founded TerraCode Collective, an open-source movement using satellite data, AI, and community knowledge to fight environmental injustice. Leah has advised UN panels, collaborated with NASA, and builds platforms that connect policy, ecology, and grassroots innovation. Her work is rooted in climate justice and the belief that technology should serve the earth—not the other way around.

🌍 Talk Title:

“Code for the Earth: Designing Tech for a Planet in Crisis”

📝 Talk Description:

As the climate clock ticks, we can no longer afford to design in silos. From environmental sensors to satellite imaging and AI forecasting, tech has incredible potential to drive ecological change—but only if it’s rooted in justice, equity, and systems awareness.

In this rousing talk, Leah Mboya will explore how to design digital tools with planetary impact. She’ll share stories of collaboration between Indigenous communities and tech labs, as well as cautionary tales of well-intentioned products that missed the mark. Leah will challenge us to build not just smarter systems—but more alive, adaptive, and ethical ones.

Key Takeaways:

• What “climate-first” design really means

• Lessons from building community-sourced environmental tools

• How to avoid extractive innovation

• The future of tech as ecological infrastructure

🔹 Short Bio:

Leah Mboya is a climate technologist and the founder of TerraCode Collective. She creates tools that merge data and justice to support community-led environmental change.

🔹 Sample Keynote Opener:

“We treat the Earth like a machine. But it’s not. It’s a living system—and our tools must learn to speak its language.”

“The question isn’t whether tech will shape the future of our planet. It’s whether it will help heal it—or harm it.”
