Setting new standards in sustainability

For making sustainability the new norm within organisations

She has an MA in Globalisation & Governance from the University of Oxford and a certificate of completion of Global Leadership & Public Policy for the 21st Century at Harvard Kennedy School. Pat also serves on the World Economic Forum Council on Future of Environment & Natural Resource Security, is a fellow of the Asia Society and the Royal Society of Arts, and a WEF Young Global Leader.
