Head & Director, China Water Risk (CWR)
Tan built CWR from an idea into a 'go-to' resource in the global climate water risk conversation. Reports Tan has written were ground-breaking and instrumental in understanding not just China's but future global water challenges; they are widely cited: by media, finance to the IPCC. She is published by Springer Nature, Palgrave MacMillan, China policy journals and was a contributing author to the latest IPCC report “Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability”. Water risk valuation methodologies she helped pioneer are now recommended reading under CDSB (now IFRS) guidance frameworks and Tan currently sits on the Board of Governors of the International Water Management Institute (IWMI). Before venturing into the water space, Tan spent over a decade in finance.
