Background

About Apurva Kothari

The imperative for climate action is clear. I support policymakers and organizations in driving measurable progress toward a more sustainable planet for all. I am a sustainability researcher and strategist focused on measuring and building climate resilience across industries. In my role as a Senior Analyst at The Economist Group, I design and lead global research programs that equip decision-makers across the public, private, and non-profit sectors with data-driven insights to address material sustainability challenges: ranging from decarbonizing operations and value chains to improving global food security and water access. I apply methodologies such as benchmarking frameworks, socioeconomic impact assessments, and survey design, to translate data and literature into decision-ready insights. I have collaborated with industry leaders, development organizations, and policymakers to deliver actionable recommendations that shape corporate sustainability roadmaps and public/blended-sector strategies. I am particularly passionate about advancing responsible supply chains and climate risk management across industries and regions. My career journey has taken me from New York to London, reinforcing my global perspective and ability to work across diverse markets and stakeholders. Let’s connect to exchange insights and explore opportunities to advance climate resilience across industries and around the world.
