Dyson steps down from his senior advisor role at Pollination and takes up his new role with immediate effect.

Martin Berg, CEO of Climate Asset Management, said: “As we structure ourselves for the next phase of our growth, Andrew’s experience and extensive expertise will I know be invaluable to us.  As chair, alongside his formal duties, he will be a terrific support to the leadership team in determining and implementing our future strategies and I am looking forward to working closely with him.”

Andrew Dyson, Chair of Climate Asset Management added: “It is truly impressive to see just how much Climate Asset Management has achieved in the four years it has been in existence.  The exclusive focus on natural capital and nature-based solutions to meet the twin climate and nature crises, is as inspirational as it is timely.  With nature increasingly high up on the agenda of most of the boardrooms and long-term institutions around the world, we expect to continue our rapid growth trajectory as we help institutional investors and global corporates achieve their net zero goals.”
