The race to net zero is on. Businesses and governments that view sustainability as a strategic opportunity to create new value will ride the wave of exponential change and growth.

How Nick is building a better working world

“In a race, speed matters. Whether we stay below 1.5 degrees of warming or overshoot 3 degrees will depend on the rate of deployment of new strategies, business models, and technologies. The adoption of some climate technologies, such as renewables, continues at an exponential pace. With a new wave of climate technology development approaching, the question facing governments, businesses and investors alike is how to enable them to reproduce that same exponential success.

I’m proud to support EY clients to navigate their core strategic challenges, helping them leverage climate technologies and energy transition opportunities to create value today, and into the future.”
