The world's climate is changing now. Global heating and its consequences will greatly affect our lives and work in the years ahead. For people with neurological diseases, and for research into those diseases, climate change is likely to pose significant challenges, which is in our remit and power to address. I very much look forward to working with all across the Institute to do what we can to meet these challenges, to reduce our contributions to climate change, and to promote sustainability.

In my role as Climate and Sustainability Project Manager I will be supporting the Deputy Director for Sustainability and Climate Change and the Climate Crisis Committee to drive forward strategy and action to tackle climate change and improve the environmental sustainability of the IoN's research and other activities. I will work alongside IoN's Green Office Champion, Sarah Lawson, and IoN's Green Labs Champion, Steffy Czieso.

As well as experience in environmental sustainability, I have a background in research on adaptation to climate change. I am interested in what we can do to better understand and reduce the effects of climate change on staff, infrastructure and research activities of the IoN and on people living with neurological conditions. These effects include extreme heat, increased humidity, growing risks of flooding, which are already being felt but will become more severe in the coming years and decades.
