The Role

Climate Risk & Decarbonisation Strategy


The Climate Risk and Decarbonisation Strategy Team (CR&S) leads KPMG's work on the climate topic, including around climate risk and decarbonisation strategy.

As a fast-growing team focused on one of the defining issues of our time and directly supported by KPMG's UK Board, we present an exciting opportunity to potential hires, both in terms of professional opportunity and potential for real-world impact.


Our team has been formed to help clients across financial services respond to the immense, systemic challenges posed by climate change.

Amongst other activities, we help clients to identify and quantify climate risks and opportunities faced by their businesses to meet regulatory, investor and stakeholder demands; analyse and assess the range of mitigation and adaptation strategies available to address climate risks (including the adoption of net zero strategies, carbon market participation and transition planning); ensure business are positioned to capture the opportunity from climate change; implement the strategies; and, finally, embed the risk, strategy, targets and governance into financial reporting, helping to pave the way to a low carbon economy.


Our vision is for the Boards of all companies to consider climate change as a key part of their Enterprise Risk Management and business strategy.

The team has received extremely positive feedback from clients and is currently working with a number of FTSE100 and Fortune500 clients, playing a key role in KPMG's goal of delivering £140m of profit with purpose by 2025.


We are looking for hires who are passionate about climate change, regard this as a systemic issue and who can fit in well to a dynamic, enthusiastic and highly capable team.
