Ad-Hoc Expert
Generic Skills
B.1. Understanding of integrated and sustainable urban development:
Through our work in Greater Manchester and many other UK Authorities, I have developed experience that has exposed me to various roles that stakeholders such as councils, businesses, public-sector organisations, charities, NGOs, and citizens all need to play to achieve Net Zero Carbon. This exposure has then been applied and developed into a number of services that support more sustainable urban development. One key part of these services includes the use of our SCATTER tool, which supports SECAP activities.
B.2. Understanding of exchange and learning processes at transnational level:
I have worked for and with various multinational organisations on the topic of sustainability and climate change. This includes our own organisation who has offices in over 10 countries, but also organisations that have vast and complex supply chains, and NGOs, such as CDP, who are active all around the world to support better knowledge exchange and learning.
B.3. Proficiency in English:
Native English Speaker.

Summary Thematic expertise:
My field of expertise is climate change, carbon accounting and sustainability strategy. I've worked with numerous UK cities and local authorities on both analytical activities and then strategy and engagement activities which the analytics has informed. A key example can be found with Greater Manchester, where my work on SCATTER helped inform the city target and then the subsequent strategy that followed. This was and still is one of the most robust and ambitious climate action plans, from which I have learned a lot of best practice which can be applied elsewhere.
