Claire Duthuit

Claire is a cross-cultural collaborator and communicator with more than 15 years’ international experience at the forefront of the global issues that matter most — from the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals to branding climate action for the UN Secretary-General. A decade working across 150 countries with the United Nations, experience partnering with the likes of Nike, H&M and Disney on effective ESG, and a role leading engagement strategy at Meta have allowed Claire to build a reputation for creativity, leadership with integrity and high-stakes reputation management. She recently joined the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions' team as the Communications Director. Through global outreach, events and campaigns including ‘Race to Zero’ and ‘Race to Resilience’, the Champions mobilise ambitious climate action, connecting the work of governments with companies, cities, regions, investors and educational institutions worldwide. Claire specialises in forging trusting partnerships and empowering international teams to drive results — whether that’s an award-winning campaign with a reach of three billion people, the buy-in of ten Heads of State and Nobel Prize Laureates, or new ways for nonprofits to up-level their success across Facebook, Instagram and the Metaverse. Claire is fluent in English and French, with Masters degrees in both Visual Media and Social Anthropology. She recently completed a University of Cambridge diploma in High Impact Sustainability Leadership.
