(Virtual) Honorary Associate Professor at the Institute for Climate, Energy and Disaster Solutions (ICEDS).
I collaborate with ANU researchers in research on the role of agriculture in domestic and international climate change policy and its relevance to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement, climate change impacts and adaptation, and on uncertainty and its implications for decision-making.
I am currently an independent consultant, supporting organisations navigating the science-policy interface on climate change.
I am currently (since 2022) also one of eight Commissioners of He Pou A Rangi, the New Zealand Climate Change Commission. This independent statutory body is charged with providing advice to the New Zealand government on climate change mitigation and adaptation policy, emission budgets and targets, and to monitor progress towards achieving goals.
Former roles include: Vice-Chair for Working Group III (mitigation) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change during the 6th Assessment Cycle, from 2015 to 2023. I also served as coordinating lead author in he IPCC AR5 for WGII (climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability, for Australasia).
Before this I was Principal Scientist, Climate Change, at New Zealand's Ministry for the Environment, where my job was to provide a science-based inputs to the Ministry’s work. Prior to that, I was Deputy Director (International) at the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre, a fully-government funded Centre working in partnership with industry to develop and extend ways of reducing agricultural greenhouse gas emissions.
