SHE has been hailed as a "Green Goddess" in China in recognition of her leading role in environmental activism.
The allusion to an otherworldliness about American-born Chinese Internet entrepreneur and clean energy advocate Peggy Liu is built upon the widespread impact she has had over the last decade.
Since founding the Joint US-China Collaboration on Clean Energy (JUCCCE) in 2007, Ms Liu has, among her many achievements, helped introduce a smart electricity grid in the mainland, prompting an initial US$7.2 billion investment by the nation's key electrical grid company. Her non-governmental organisation has also facilitated the training of more than 1,000 Chinese government officials in building sustainable cities and promoting greener lifestyles.
