Peter Knez, Marcelo de Andrade, Karla Brollier, Michael McCord, Nancy Watkins, Jeff Weiss, Ed Barbier, Mathis Wackernagel, Paula Ehrlich, Emily Weeks — the Sustainability Fellows of the QPN accelerators site
This is Jonathan Hare's account, with its provenance shown. The person or organization named has not yet claimed or corrected it.
The Sustainability Fellows page of the QPN Accelerators site — Jonathan Hare's own publication, captured 1 September 2026 (S-188, documented for the roles) — lists ten: Peter Knez (Palm Global Technologies, TEAL — five accelerators), Marcelo de Andrade (ProNatura International, Earth Capital — three), Karla Brollier (Velveteen Ventures), Michael McCord (Microinsurance Centre at Milliman), Nancy Watkins (Milliman Climate Resilience Initiative), Jeff Weiss (Distributed Sun, executive chairman — two), Ed Barbier (Colorado State — two), Mathis Wackernagel (Global Footprint Network), Paula Ehrlich (E. O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation) and Emily Weeks (USAID). The site's fellowship categories run Clinical, Policy, Technical, Innovation, Child Safety and Education, Venture and Sustainability; 111 people in all.
In Hare's account he has had numerous meetings with all ten, introducing them to his other connections — the Milliman climate, sustainability, microfinance and microinsurance leadership (Weiss, Moyer, McCord, Watkins) — and pulling Knez into those conversations. Several were met in one room: the Nobel Sustainability Trust's November 2024 summit at UC Berkeley. The Fellows page is where the Nature and Humanity Trust initiative found its first participants.

This record is not biography attached to a technical claim. Each runs into the other: the experiences below produced the mechanisms, and the mechanisms are what those experiences turned out to require.
This page is the anecdote — the thing that draws you in. The explainers are where the mechanism is set out in full, with the problem it solves and the condition on which it fails.
The mechanism, set out in full with the condition that would defeat it.
