How Niall is building a better working world
The energy transition is critical in tackling the challenges posed by climate change, and I believe we all have a role to play. I develop strategies that not only address climate change but also create economic opportunities and resilience in local communities. In fostering a sustainable future, I collaborate with a diverse ecosystem of stakeholders – including governments, utilities, businesses, and communities – to design initiatives that reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy efficiency. Climate change is the defining challenge of our time; we need real action now, and I’m privileged to work with clients and colleagues motivated to build a better working world for future generations.
