Sustainability & Climate Leadership Talks & Keynotes
Each talk is fully tailored to your audience and strategic priorities.
Themes are co-developed with you ahead of the event to ensure relevance, impact, and practical takeaways.
Drawing on:
My experience as a climate change and biodiversity policy expert working at the heart of international negotiations,
A 1,600 km expedition across the Himalayas documenting real-world climate impacts on glaciers and communities, and
My background as a social anthropologist, focused on how people, cultures, and institutions actually respond to risk and change.
These talks connect climate data with lived reality, and strategy with human behaviour. The aim is not just awareness but better decisions under pressure.
Selected Talks & Keynotes
Connecting the Dots
Climate Change as a System, not a Sector
This talk explores climate change as a connected system rather than a standalone issue, drawing on frontline experience in the Himalayas and insights from international climate negotiations. It shows how impacts cascade across water, agriculture, migration, and social stability and why siloed decisions consistently fail. Using a systems-thinking lens, the talk highlights how effective climate leadership depends on linking data with lived experience and acting on early warning signals before crises become unavoidable.
From the Himalayas to the Boardroom
Why the Energy Transition Cannot Succeed Without Restoring Nature
This talk explores the often-overlooked link between nature, water, energy systems, and economic stability. Drawing on Himalayan field experience and international climate and biodiversity negotiations, it shows how ecosystem degradation undermines water security, energy reliability, and long-term value. By reframing nature as a strategic asset rather than a constraint, the talk demonstrates why decarbonisation without ecosystem restoration increases risk and how integrating biodiversity into energy transition strategies strengthens resilience and performance.
Biodiversity & Corporate Responsibility
How Real-World Sustainability Stories Can Become Your Corporate Strategy
This talk explores how real-world biodiversity loss is reshaping risks, responsibilities, and opportunities for organisations. Drawing on frontline experience and sustainability strategy, it shows how companies can move beyond compliance to build credible, human-centred approaches to nature, biodiversity, and corporate responsibility and turn sustainability narratives into meaningful action.
