Nick joined LTS in 2007 to lead our services in water management and climate change adaptation and enriches our inter-disciplinary team of core consultants, particularly through his hands on experience as an environmental regulator and through the insights provided by his recent research. As an environmental scientist with 15 years practice in research; regulation; project management; training and team leadership Nick brings a wide range of skills and experience to our team. His specialties lie in supporting effective governance and institutional arrangements for sustainable development; river basin and water resource management; climate change; health and poverty linkages and the design, implementation and evaluation of development programmes with requisite consideration to the social, environmental and political contexts found in developing countries. Since joining LTS Nick has developed our capabilities and business to support effective climate change adaptation with clients including DFID and the UN; provided highly valued advisory and programme evaluation services and has successfully extended our services into water management, in particular in East Africa where he heads our Tanzania Office. He is developing innovative solutions to governance challenges through his work supporting civil-society research and advocacy groups (Shahidi wa Maji, TWASANET, Water Witness International) and through the development of certifiable standards for water resource use – the WaterMark. Nick’s ongoing academic research provides a better understanding of developing capacity, workplace motivation and institutional incentives for effective natural resource management. He is also a member of the Livelihoods and Environmental Change research group at the University of East Anglia.
