Phoebe Wang is an investment partner at the Amazon Climate Pledge Fund, a $2 billion fund focused on sustainability and climate change. Their goal is to help Amazon and their Climate Pledge signatories achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 through investments in various sectors like transportation, food, circularity, data centers, manufacturing, materials, and nuclear fission.

Phoebe has been involved in climate tech investing for the past 12 years, backing over 30 companies, 3 of which have become unicorns. Phoebe’s passion for sustainability was sparked by witnessing pollution and smog in Asia whilst growing up, which motivated her to pursue a career in climate-focused fields. Phoebe has a background in material science engineering, business, and environmental engineering, and has worked in various roles before becoming an entrepreneur and investor in the climate tech space.
