Suzannah Sherman

Climate Policy Researcher

My research sits at the intersection of climate adaptation, policy, and urban sustainability transitions. I focus on designing policy frameworks that can drive transformative environmental action and real-world impact.

I'm committed to accelerating the transition to climate-resilient communities and finding ways to drive the systemic policy and institutional changes needed.

With over a decade of experience in climate change and environmental policy, I specialize in translating complex sustainability challenges into actionable insights for policymakers, NGOs, and investors. Most recently, as a Research Fellow at Chatham House's Sustainability Accelerator, I led multi-year research projects on climate adaptation, nature-based solutions, and sustainable bioeconomies, while contributing to strategic direction for the program.

I've also worked directly with the UK Climate Change Committee, conducting statutory adaptation policy reviews for government and developing evidence-based recommendations. Earlier in my career, I helped multinational corporations develop carbon reduction strategies and implement sustainable supply chains.
