Debra Tan, Director and Head of CWR, built the organisation from an idea into a ‘go-to’ resource in the global climate water risk conversation. Tan has written reports that were ground-breaking and instrumental in understanding not just China’s but future global water challenges. They are widely cited by media, finance to the IPCC. Tan has been published by SpringerNature, Palgrave MacMillan, and China policy journals. She is also a contributing author to the latest IPCC report Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability. Tan sits on committees including CDP, CDSB (now IFRS), MNCs, and judges the UNPRI awards. Before CWR, Tan spent over a decade in finance.
