George Leigh’s Expertise George is currently the senior adviser on the London Climate Resilience Review, an independent review commissioned by The Mayor of London, looking at what action can be taken to better prepare London for physical climate impacts like floods, storms, heatwaves, wildfires, and droughts. George has over 13 years of experience working in the environmental, legal and public policy sectors, both as a campaigner and in crisis management. George was previously senior adviser to the Chair of the Environment Agency, England’s environmental regulator, operator of flood infrastructure and an emergency responder. The EA has over 10,000 staff, a budget of 1.6bn and a capital flood budget of 5.2bn. George was in this role for six years, through national flood incidents, EU Exit and the coronavirus pandemic. George helped prepare senior leaders for select committees, Ministerial meetings, discussions in Number 10, visits and media interviews. As lead speechwriter George made the case for more public and private investment in environmental outcomes, in particular through green finance. George conducts research to support public interventions by senior leaders and has worked with officials, businesses and NGOs to set the direction and agree language for crisis communications and key strands of proactive work including the National Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Strategy, the Environmental Performance Assessments of the water sector, the Environment Agency’s five year strategy, and the UK’s Adaptation Communication ahead of COP26. In 2019, he advised the Chair as she made the Environment Agency the first organisation in government to set a net zero target of 2030.
