自2005年以来, James Gardiner has led multilingual, interdisciplinary teams on diverse climate, 能源, and environmental assignments. Working in our 能源 and 气候 practice, James leads assignments in climate diplomacy and land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF). James also helps clients develop climate outreach strategies, clean-能源 financing mechanisms, and 能源-efficiency and LULUCF regulations.

James has worked in Africa, 亚洲, 欧洲, and the Americas for governmental, 多边, 商业, and philanthropic organizations such as the 欧洲an Commission, the British Government, 美国.S. Federal Government, the World Bank, the 欧洲an Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the Breakthrough 能源 Coalition. The outcomes of these assignments include securing funding for large-scale clean 能源 projects, facilitating intergovernmental outreach on climate change mitigation and adaptation, obtaining regulatory approval for projects to reduce emissions and increase 能源 security, and editing international 能源-efficiency regulations.

目前, James supports the 欧洲an Commission in its climate diplomacy engagements both with major emitting countries and with countries particularly vulnerable to climate change. He also advises the Breakthrough 能源 Coalition on best practices in clean 能源 innovation, building on studies for the 欧洲an Commission on boosting finance to first-of-a-kind, 商业-scale, clean 能源 projects and facilitating clean technology transfer to developing countries. James previously worked on environmental and social impact assessments of 能源 infrastructure projects, most notably the World Bank-supported West Africa Gas Pipeline project to reduce gas flaring in Nigeria by transporting surplus natural gas to Benin, 多哥, and Ghana for electricity generation.
