Sotora Global is a strategic consultancy for senior leaders integrating policy, communications, and science to scale innovative, high-integrity climate and nature solutions.
The barriers to scaling climate and nature solutions are interconnected.
Policy, science, and communications determine whether solutions scale or stall – yet across the sector, they are still procured separately, managed separately, and delivered in isolation.
Sotora closes the gap.
What we do
Sotora works across three core solutions, each developed in direct response to the needs of climate and nature leaders.
Initiative strategy and management
We design complex, multi-actor programmes and provide end-to-end management – from coalition building and policy engagement to evidence development.
Reputation and influence building
We combine deep market understanding with strategic judgement to help leaders establish credibility, shape debate, and protect trust when it is tested.
Market positioning strategy
We bring market, technical, and communications insight to support organisations as they enter, refine, or scale their climate and nature offerings.
Why Sotora
Built for climate and nature leaders
Founded by consultants who have spent years at the centre of climate and nature action, advising leaders across governments, coalitions, standard-setting bodies, and the organisations making innovative solutions reality.
Integrated by design
Policy, communications, and science are developed and executed together from the outset – not reconciled after the fact.
Senior expertise, realistic budgets
A fully-remote, AI-supported model means clients receive experienced, senior consultants within sector budget realities.

Who we work with
Market shapers
Actors whose decisions influence the direction of climate and nature solutions at scale. You operate across complex scientific, political, and narrative environments. You need a partner who integrates these realities.
Mandate owners
Organisations with responsibility to address systemic challenges. You hold the legitimacy and convening power. What you need is the capacity to design, manage, and steward complex initiatives end to end.
Emerging leaders
Organisations developing new solutions, often in emerging markets or early-stage development. You bring strong ideas. Sotora provides the strategy, market access, and delivery support to help you navigate complexity and accelerate progress.
