Tim Jarvis

Tim Jarvis AM (born May 1966) is an Environmental Explorer, adventurer, author and documentary filmmaker, with Masters qualifications in environmental science and environmental law. His environmental work is mainly focused on sustainable aid provision in developing countries and improving corporate environmental sustainability, as well as 'significant project' management through his project 25zero, which uses equatorial glacial melt as an indicator of global climate change. Jarvis says he is "committed to finding pragmatic solutions to global environmental sustainability issues", and as a public speaker he talks regularly about motivation and leadership to both individuals and organisations.

On 20 November 2014, Jarvis was announced as WWF-Australia Global Ambassador. In November 2016, global adventure-wear brand Kathmandu (company), announced Jarvis as their global brand ambassador.

Tim Jarvis is widely considered one of the world's leading speakers, and currently also works as a Senior Associate - Sustainability to global engineering solutions firm Arup, and has also advised the World Bank and the Asia Development Bank on multilateral aid projects.

Born in May 1966, he is best known for his numerous Antarctic expeditions, particularly the period recreations of historical treks by Sir Douglas Mawson and Sir Ernest Shackleton, as well as the his record-breaking Antarctic crossing in 1999, undertaken with fellow Australian explorer Peter Treseder. As a result, for a few years, he was the joint record holder for the fastest unsupported journey to the Geographic South Pole and the longest unsupported Antarctica journey. This distance takes into account the full distance from the ice shelf, rather than from the geographical coastline.

He holds dual Australian/UK citizenships and spends his time primarily in Australia, with visits to the UK, the Americas, and Africa, for business and exploration-based activities and public engagements.
