Consulting

I offer consulting services to a variety of different stakeholder clients including:

Governments: I advise government ministries, agencies and financial authorities, working to shape public policy, design public spending programs, and to improve macro-financial supervision (stress testing), and micro-prudential regulation or disclosure.

Multinational corporations and financial institutions: I have worked with more than 250 multinational companies, across ten industrial sectors, including right across the financial services sector. My work focuses on:

  • The development of decarbonization pathways: I work with companies on a six-step sequence to properly calculate and report greenhouse gas emissions; benchmark climate action across sectoral and geographical peers; recommend a set of tailored emissions reductions solutions; set and validate decarbonization targets; identify collaborative initiatives to address systems challenges; and identify investment opportunities / sources of financial support.

  • The development of resilience roadmaps: I offer companies comprehensive climate risk assessments covering hazards, exposure and vulnerability. This leads to the development of a tailored climate resilience roadmap with detailed recommendations on interventions to enhance adaptive capacity using investments across six so-called “capital assets” - human, social, natural, physical, financial and political.

  • The development of just transition plans: I offer support in developing transition plans to guide companies as they navigate the policy, technological and market shifts that are sunsetting the high-carbon economy and laying the foundations of the new climate economy. This includes guidance on how to engage in a social dialogue across stakeholder groups to generate community-led solutions.

International organizations: I work with a range of international organizations from both the UN family of agencies and multilateral development banks. This includes leading primary research and thought leadership; the development of client-facing climate advisory services, and direct engagement with MDB clients.

Global non-profits: My work with civil society typically involves the crafting of organizational strategies and developing innovative approaches to private sector engagement.

Philanthropies: I work with both corporate and private philanthropies in the design of climate funds. This typically involves development of strategies as well as identification and due diligence on grantees.

Academic institutions: I develop executive education programs and other climate curricula for academic institutions in Europe and North America.
