Welcoming Our New Trustee Claudia Jaksch

We are delighted to announce the appointment of a new Trustee, Claudia Jaksch to the Carbon Copy team. Claudia, a seasoned policy expert, is Chief Operating Officer and Head of Sustainability at the not-for-profit think tank Policy Connect.

Claudia brings in-depth experience in strategic leadership on impact and performance measurement and management; human resource management; financial monitoring and reporting; business development; governance structures and regulatory compliance skills to Carbon Copy’s board.

Appointed through an extensive recruitment process using digital platform Nurole, Claudia will be joining our founding Trustees; Ric Casale, Heather Allen and Andy Knott.

Ric Casale, Chair of Carbon Copy’s Trustees said: “We are delighted to welcome Claudia to the Carbon Copy team. We are excited about her experience and background in sustainability policy and charity leadership, and we look forward to sharing in this knowledge and growing the success of Carbon Copy as a result.”

Claudia said: “Carbon Copy is an inspiring new organisation, focused on driving collective action to address the climate crisis. My experience of engaging government, civil service, parliamentarians, businesses, academia and the third sector in issues around sustainability policy has led me to realise that this collaborative approach, where all parts of society are involved, leads to greater, more long lasting impact. I am delighted, therefore, that the Board of Trustees has entrusted me with the opportunity to utilise my skills to help steer Carbon Copy forwards, helping us to reach a carbon zero future faster.”
