In Memory of John Scowcroft

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear colleague and friend John Scowcroft. John has been a valued member of our team since January 2012, when he first joined the Institute as General Manager. He keenly followed climate change discussions for years  notably attending almost every COP since its launch – and, over the last ten years, has significantly contributed to the Institute’s role in international climate frameworks.


John will be truly missed within the CCS and climate community and his enthusiasm, exceptional knowledge and profound dedication to the Institute’s work will always be remembered. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
