We are living in a world of increasing uncertainty. For the past 10,000 years, humans have lived during a time of relative climatic stability. Civilizations - including our own - developed in the midst of this stability.
We now know that the climate is beginning to shift and that past events are no longer reliable analogues for the future. This requires us to think differently. It requires us to rethink our relationship with nature and how that impacts our economies, communities, our quality of life, and the underpinning built and natural environments which support all of those.
At Climate Advisory, we have more than 20 years experience working with clients to solve for these types of needs. That experience allows us to home in on key risks, identify areas of highest opportunity, and bring industry-leading solutions without necessarily having to undertake exhaustive studies. We are committed to making a real change in the world and are always excited to work with like-minded, creative individuals who are looking to do the same.
We make climate change concepts understandable and relevant.
We work with our partners to develop and produce change.
We’re here to approach climate change solutions in strategic and innovative ways.
We’re here to build trust and relationships while abiding by our values.
We strive to live within our means and invite others to do the same.
Climate Advisory was founded by Lisa Churchill, an expert in climate change with over 20 years experience in the design field and a life-long passion for the natural world. Her training as a paleontologist, with a focus on mass extinctions, has given her a unique perspective on resilience.
For more than 20 years, Lisa has worked exclusively in the engineering and design field, developing a deep expertise in climate adaptation, resilient infrastructure and climate finance. Through that work, it became apparent that transformational change will only come about through large-scale investment in resilience. A large part of that effort will involve building a robust pipeline of infrastructure projects that are capable of generating revenue while also satisfying public sector and investor needs.
Lisa’s unique background in science, the design field and economic and financial valuations related to climate risk, have allowed her to work fluidly in this space and advance many of these initiatives. Recognizing the urgency for meaningful change, Lisa made the decision to launch her own consultancy to work proactively on this particular issue, as well as to broaden her impact with other types of clients and partners who are looking for creative solutions in this space. She is committed to taking the mystery out of climate change in order to make resilience an achievable goal – regardless of where the starting point may be.
Climate Advisory clients are introduced to a wealth of experts across design, policy, insurance, underwriting, funding and financing thanks to Lisa’s external network in the industry.

Many of us can point to a time in our lives that influenced what we might do when we grew up. For me, it began with a box of 430-million-year-old fossils that my parents collected when they lived in Wisconsin.
