Chair Odgers Berndtson
Tackling climate change; building a low-carbon economy
The Committee on Climate Change was created in 2008 as an expert body to provide independent advice to the UK Government and Devolved Administrations on tackling and preparing for climate change, including setting carbon budgets and monitoring progress made in meeting them.
The Committee is a high-profile non-departmental public body which has statutory responsibilities under the Climate Change Act 2008. It is the first body of its kind and brings together a range of world-class experts from the fields of climate science and policy, technology, energy production and supply, economics, business competitiveness and financial management among other related fields.
Chair
(£1000 per day – up to 3 days per month in the first year, 2 days thereafter)
Providing strategic vision and leadership to the Committee’s work, you will represent the body externally and foster close working relationships with key experts, including academics, NGOs, business as well as foreign governments and intergovernmental institutions. With a track record of achieving results and providing intellectual leadership to a high-profile public organisation, you will have well-developed analytical skills as well as exceptional judgement and demonstrate a creative and pro-active approach to problem solving.
With responsibility for fulfilling the Committee’s functions as set out in the Climate Change Act, you will have the stature and capacity to provide independent and pragmatic advice to Ministers and the ability to facilitate effective decision-making – plus the credibility to liaise at the highest level.
Good knowledge of the range of the Committee’s work and an understanding of applied economics and climate change policy is desirable.
