Nils Moe currently serves as the Mayor’s Sustainability Advisor for the City of Berkeley. In this role, he is helping to implement Berkeley’s Climate Action Plan and working with the city staff and the community to reduce their GHG emissions. Nils was one of the founding team members responsible for creating Berkeley’s innovative solar financing program, which has since become a national model of renewable energy financing (PACE).

Nils is also very active in regional environmental policy planning. He is working on the proliferation of climate friendly policies as a member of the East Bay Green Corridor’s Innovative Policy Committee and a steering committee member of the Bay Area Climate Collaborative. Nils is also helping to make the Bay Area the EV Capitol of the U.S. in his role on the Bay Area Electric Vehicle Strategic Council and a member of the California Clean Cars Campaign Advisory Committee.

Most recently Nils participated in a United Kingdom Climate and Behavior Change delegation and was selected by the Heinrich Boell Foundation as one of five US representatives to meet with environmental leaders across Europe and the Garrison Institute’s Symposium on Behavior Change. He is currently co-chair for the National Public Engagement Sub-committee for the Urban Sustainability Director’s Network, a faculty member of the Institute for Sustainability Communities’ inaugural China Climate Leadership Academy Faculty 2010-2012 and on the 2011 steering committee for the Garrison Institute on Behavior Change.

During the last ten years he has been working as a professor of Organizational Psychology at San Francisco State University and a faculty member of the MPA and MBA in Sustainable Management programs at the Presidio Graduate School. He has also co–founded two values-driven non–profits – Pinch Me Films, with a mission of promoting social change through compelling video and multimedia education; and Senior Surf, a non-profit enterprise with the goal of narrowing the increasing digital divide resulting from the senior community's lack of exposure and affordable access to computer technology. In the past, he has worked in the private sector as a management consultant, specializing in program evaluation of non-profits and 360–degree feedback for Fortune 100 companies (including The Home Depot, The Federal Reserve Bank and United Airlines).
