Featuring:
Adrienne Douglass-Scott is the Sustainability Program Manager at the Port of Bellingham. She joined the Port in 2017 and has since built the program, which includes the Port’s Climate Action Strategy, energy policy development and providing input on cargo movement, equipment procurement and capital projects throughout the Port. Currently, her focus is on energy resiliency and planning for future activities in a time of uncertain funding and fuels.
In her previous life, Adrienne studied soils, forestry and wildfire, before spending over a decade performing sustainable forest management audits and greenhouse gas accounting for various industries in Canada, the US and Indonesia. She has seen the field of sustainability develop over time and understands the importance of sharing her optimism for the work she does. She is a lifelong aquatic enthusiast, spending most of her free time on, in and around the Salish Sea.
