Robert Swan OBE is one of the world’s most respected polar explorers and environmental leaders. The first person in history to walk to both the North and South Poles, he has transformed his extraordinary experiences into compelling lessons on resilience, leadership and sustainability for organisations worldwide.

During these expeditions, he experienced the devastating early effects of climate change, from melting Arctic ice to the ozone hole over Antarctica.
In 1992, he was invited to address the first World Summit for Sustainable Development, charged by world leaders with a ten-year mission to mobilise industry, business and young people in environmental action.

Through his organisation 2041, Swan has led corporate and youth expeditions to Antarctica, including the Inspire Antarctic Expeditions, which designed and built the world’s first renewable energy education station, the E-Base.
