Clive provides the lead for NRW on strategic climate change issues, providing expert advice to ensure that risks and impacts are evaluated and managed internally, and advises externally on the implications of climate change for Wales. A key focus is to ensure an evidence-based approach to integrating both mitigation and adaptation into the work of NRW and ensure that climate change is addressed through the sustainable management of natural resources. He has contributed to the production of guidance on adaptation to climate change within the UK, and internationally for the Convention on Biological Diversity. This has particularly focused on the interactions between climate change, biodiversity and ecosystem processes. Clive chairs the UK Inter-agency Climate Change Group that provides coordination across the UK statutory environmental agencies, which are currently collaborating on a review of UK nature-based solutions. He previously undertook ecological research, specialising in coastal plant ecology and habitat restoration. He has been a member of the Climate Change Commission for Wales and Director of Outreach for the Climate Change Consortium for Wales.
