Andrew Potts coordinates the Secretariat of the Climate Heritage Network, which is hosted by the Paris-based International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). The CHN is an international network of community organisations, cultural operators, government agencies, universities, civil society, and businesses committed to unlocking the power of culture from arts to heritage to help people imagine and realise low-carbon, just, climate resilient futures. Andrew formerly served as the Coordinator of the ICOMOS Climate Change and Heritage Working Group. A lawyer by training, his law practice originally focused on arranging public and private finance for the adaptive reuse of historic buildings and then expanded to financing for culture-based sustainable development projects more generally. He has made culture and climate change his focus since 2015.
