Tim Treuer

Tim Treuer is the Regional Innovation Officer and Director of the Alaska Climate Tech Hub, a program of Cook Inlet Tribal Council. Tim has spent a dozen years working on topics related to climate change, first from a lens of nature-based climate solutions and more recently through climate tech innovation.

In his current role, Tim works with a diverse statewide consortium on an ambitious shared vision: Alaska as a global hotspot for the development, deployment, and commercialization of the technologies that will solve climate change. 

He is also the founder of Treuer Words LLC, a vehicle for writing, consulting, and research services. He has bylines or film credits with more than two dozen outlets, ranging from the Washington Post to National Geographic's Short Film Showcase. He completed a 2018 Mass Media Fellowship at PBS-NOVA in Boston.

Tim was a part of the inaugural graduating class of West Anchorage High School's International Baccalaureate program and holds an AB degree from Harvard in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and a PhD from Princeton in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.

Tim's life improved greatly in March 2020, when the global pandemic prompted him to return to the home he sorely missed. He still can't get over how lucky he is to live in Alaska and spends as much time as possible packrafting, climbing, backcountry skiing, and wild ice skating across the Last Frontier.
