Mark Stevenson ‘Reluctant Futurist’ Mark Stevenson is a strategic
advisor to governments, investors, NGOs and corporates and cofounder of Carbon Removals company CUR8.
He is Global Ambassador for environmental law firm Client Earth
and former strategic advisor on peace, national security and
climate change to the UK Ministry of Defence.
Though branded a ‘futurist’ by others Mark is more, as one client
puts it, ‘Chief Annoying Question Asker’. He helps organisations
change the way they feel, think, invest and operate in order to
answer the intertwined questions the future is asking us - on climate
change, inequality, the retreat of democracy and the failures of the
markets to price risk properly (to name just four).
He also enjoys a successful side career as a comedy writer and
songwriter, which he regards as essential for maintaining key skills
needed in his strategy work. “The brain does the PR for what the
heart has already decided, if you can’t speak to the heart any
systems change is dead in the water.”
His two bestselling books, An Optimist’s Tour of the Future and the
award-winning We Do Things Differently map out some existing
and proven solutions to our current dilemmas.
His hit podcast with comedian Jon Richardson and fellow systems
change advocate Ed Gillespie is available on all major platforms.
