Roger Street

Roger Street is an Associate Fellow of Green Templeton College and Honorary Research Associate at the Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford.

Roger has an MSc in Physics from the University of Toronto and came to the Environmental Change Institute in January 2006 after working over 32 years with the Canadian federal government. Much of his work has focused on climate, impacts and adaptation and providing strategic and technical advice on climate risk, adaptation and resilience assessments and planning. This builds on his experience in leading and supporting national assessments in Canada, the US and the UK, and developing assessment and planning processes internationally. Roger also plays a leading role in the UK and internationally on develop and presenting knowledge and evidence to inform assessments, planning and implementation in the context of adaptation and resilience. Internationally this has included working in Ireland (as a member of the Adaptation Committee), China and Brazil, and with colleagues within European.
