Committee Member – Economic and Climate Policy Expert

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.
