Ben Bowie

Ben Bowie is the Managing Director of TMP Public, the non-profit wing of TMP. Ben is a recognised expert in systemic, political and social risk management with a strong focus on preparing stakeholders for near-term climate impacts. According to TMP's unique data, these climate impacts and their repercussions are widely underestimated, so he works with leading decision-makers to raise awareness of imminent challenges and, more importantly, to identify and demonstrate effective, shared solutions for them.

Ben oversees TMPs work in areas including security, minerals, food and sovereign debt working with senior government officials, business leaders, academic institutions and civil society. Having started his career working on climate change advocacy at Global Witness, Ben worked as an independent consultant for ODI, the EU and several companies in the extractive industries before joining TMP in 2011. Since then, he has worked on issue areas including local conflict, energy planning, responsible agriculture and international security, with a focus for the last decade on climate risks.

He has served on Steering/Advisory Groups for the OECD Responsible Business Conduct Guidelines, University of Bristol Earth Sciences Department, and the Interlaken Group, among others. Ben received his MSc in Asian Politics from SOAS University of London, and his MA in Social and Political Sciences from The University of Cambridge.
