Management consultants are cashing in on the climate crisis—advising both fossil fuel giants and government, shaping policy while chasing profit. Behind closed doors, some of the biggest names in consulting have helped enable corruption, launder reputations, but now they’re positioning themselves as climate saviours.
Based on explosive insider interviews and hard-hitting investigation research, Open Secrets launches its new report, “Climate Consultants” on how big consultancies are steering South Africa’s climate response—with zero transparency and accountability. Join celebrated radio personality, Lester Kiewit in conversation with Open Secrets’ Head of Legal, Ariella Scher, and Open Secrets investigators Zen Mathe, Michael Marchant, and Luvano Ntuli for a sharp, urgent discussion on power, profit, and climate justice.
