Holly McElhone

Focus

Holly works across Plastics, Chemicals and Energy. Holly sees communications as a key driver in delivering systems change, and was inspired to join ClientEarth after witnessing how it harnesses the power of law to protect our planet.

Experience

Prior to joining ClientEarth, Holly specialised in Climate Finance, leading on communications for Make My Money Matter – a campaign group aimed at mobilising the finance sector to facilitate the net zero transition. She has worked on major public campaigns targeting large banks for their ongoing financing of fossil fuels, and institutional investors for continuing to invest in the world’s most polluting industries.

Education

Holly studied French at King’s College London and Politics at Sciences Po, Lyon.

ClientEarth’s work spans so many important crises that are putting our planet at risk. In using the powerful mechanism of the law to create change, we can turn the tide against polluters and bring Earth back to health. Working in the Global Communications team means I am lucky enough to interact with many of the different areas we are working on to protect people and planet.
