What is your favourite thing about being part of Cambridge Zero or the University of Cambridge? 

I like constantly being challenged to think more deeply about how we can drive a transition to a globally sustainable world.

What do you think is our biggest environmental challenge? 

Education! Getting to a place where people globally understand the danger of inaction and have the skills and knowledge to mitigate and adapt to a world that looks very different.

What gets you out of bed (and into work) in the morning? 

The people I work with, including the many talented students, and the desire to do something that makes a positive impact in the world.
