Arun has spent almost a decade working in urban sustainability, energy, and climate change.

He has also spent almost 3 years at Citizens Advice advocating for consumer rights in the energy market.
His varied experience and background in engineering have allowed him to address specialised policy challenges faced in climate change mitigation.
