As an experienced civil servant, James brings an understanding of sustainable development, environment and economic policy to the Think Global Board. Building on an early educational career (working with pre-16 students exhibiting challenging behaviour), James’s experience encompasses NGO (Keep Britain Tidy, National Youth Agency, NIACE), economic development, further/higher education and most recently regional and national policy roles. Throughout his career, James has maintained a long standing commitment to and passion for education for sustainable development and global citizenship (ESD-GC), most notably by leading a partnership consortium of 30+ public and educational institutions to secure the UK’s first UN Regional Centre of Expertise (ESD) in 2007.

In 2015 Will established Will Tucker Consulting to support organisations with a cause to connect with the people who can help.
