“
Idon ’ t want to sound alarmist , but the world has until 2025 to implement massive changes , ecologically speaking or we ’ re all going to have a big problem on our hands ,” says Adam Thompson , Head of Global Sustainable Finance and ESG for IBM Consulting .
Thompson , who is an expert in data and sustainability , is also , in his spare time , an EU Climate Pact Ambassador – a platform that informs , inspires , and supports climate policies and action in local communities and broader networks .
The British father of three – who currently lives in the Bavarian Forest , Germany , is a passionate advocate for renewable innovations , green technologies , and the transformation of the financial space . From where he ’ s sitting , accountability is key in driving the change required to prevent climate disaster and mass migration that currently looks imminent if we don ’ t act NOW !
He says : “ In my day job , I work with clients to holistically look at how they embed environmental , social governance , or economic factors into their decision making and how do they operationalise that as part of a transformation for pathways to netzero , for climate , nature , or indeed how to rebalance society as a whole . The EU Climate Pact is work that I do in my spare time , along with living as self-sustainable as possible . So , I hopefully not just talk the talk , but also walk the walk .
