[https://www.clivebates.com/ The Counterfactual is the personal site for Clive Bates.]


==Biography==
He is now establishing my own new enterprise based on thinking, communicating and doing in support of progressive causes – providing a benign but forceful challenge to orthodoxy in environment, energy, public health, sustainability and international development.
 
Until recently he was a civil servant, a Director General with the Welsh Government then on secondment to the Department of Energy and Climate Change. However, all views on this site are strictly my own – and I do not speak here for past employers.
 
These are my employers and institutions to date:
 
* Department for Energy and Climate Change
* Welsh Government
* UNEP Sudan
* Environment Agency
* Prime Minister’s Strategy Unit – Cabinet Office
* ASH – Action on Smoking and Health
* International Institute for Energy Conservation (Europe)
* Greenpeace
* Imperial College
* IBM (UK) Ltd
* Emmanuel College, Cambridge
