Mark W. Roberts, President of ECO Policy Advisors has more than 40 years of experience working on climate and environmental advocacy, litigation and law. Co-founder and first Executive Director of Greenpeace USA, Mark has worked in both public advocacy organizations and private law firms, including his own, to improve the state of the world’s climate and environment.
Mark advocated for the Montreal Protocol to control and phase out the use of Hydrofluorocarbons (“HFCs”) and destruction of the Banks of ozone depleting substances which was adopted in 2015 and will prevent up to 1 degree of warming by 2100. He has also engaged in actions to prevent emissions from deforestation and degradation, and to preserve forests in the dynamic international negotiations including participating in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the UN-REDD program, the World Bank Forest Climate Partnership Facility, and related Climate Investment Funds.

ECO Policy Advisors contracts with experts in specific areas when such collaboration will enhance the opportunities for success.
Mission
ECO Policy Advisers works to deliver actions to slow climate change while protecting biodiversity, sustainable development and the interests of indigenous peoples.
A Boston-based consultancy, ECO Policy Advisors specializes in:
- climate change mitigation and adaptation policy and advocacy;
- the intersection of global finance, trade and climate policy;
- incentivizing whistleblowers in the U.S. and internationally to come forward and identify illegally sourced wildlife, marine and wood; and
- efforts to protect rare environments and their biodiversity from exploitation. Knowledge and communication can make real change happen.
Knowledge sharing and communication make real change happen.
ECO Policy Advisors works to strengthen multilateral treaties and national laws to mitigate climate change, promote climate adaptation, and protect biodiversity.
ECO Policy Advisors develops specific and practical solutions to climate and environmental issues caused by poor governance and a lack of shared knowledge and technologies.
Our campaigns to protect the global climate, and to save endangered wildlife and plants operate at the intersection of increasing global demand and trade and the accelerating loss of natural resources and species.
ECO Policy Advisors takes advantage of its independence and mobility to produce game-changing primary evidence and analysis of these problems and to build lasting alliances, institutions, and policies to implement effective climate solutions.
