Maria Rivera Espinosa is a sustainability advocate and has worked in the art world as a writer, curator, and advisor for over ten years. In November of last year, as part of the Founding Team and Director of Partnerships, Maria launched onepoint5, a consultancy firm that aims to harness the opportunities of a sustainable future. onepoint5 comprises a group of experts who guide and empower clients across the private and public sectors to accelerate their transition to a sustainable future. She believes in the power of dialogue and bridging creative minds with analytical thinkers to unlock the innovative solutions we urgently need for systematic change. One example of her work in this area is the Art Program she developed for the Sustainable AI Lab at the University of Bonn. Her career and deep respect for the environment have given her the insight to identify opportunities for creating forward-thinking communities.
