A gift of Pavel Molchanov supports four Chatham House internships for young people interested in sustainability issues.
Mr Molchanov has also pledged a legacy to Chatham House’s Fund for the Future to ensure that the programme will continue on a permanent basis.
Mr Molchanov said he was delighted to be helping to develop future leaders in the field of sustainability.
‘Climate change, as one of the defining issues of our time and for generations to come, should be studied in all its many dimensions – some that are well-known, and others that are below the radar.’
‘From developing renewable energy technologies and managing scarce water resources, to designing green buildings and much more, the challenges and opportunities are vast.’
Mr Molchanov is a Managing Director and Equity Research Analyst at Raymond James & Associates. He joined the firm in 2003 and has since been working as part of the Energy Group, currently focusing on renewables and clean technology.
He also serves as a member of the advisory board at Cool Effect, an environmental project-funding charity; and on the board of visitors of the University of North Carolina’s Institute for the Environment.
