Reviews
“As lead negotiator for South Africa Alf has guided the country’s engagement in and negotiation of, bilateral, regional and multi-lateral environmental agreements, including in the areas of sustainable development, climate change, biodiversity, desertification, marine chemicals, waste as well as environmental finance and governance. Alf is very talented in communication and is able to clearly and precisely present the key issues and then to systematically address each in turn and to show the interlinkages. I am delighted that he contributes to the activities that I am involved in as he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table.”

“C2ES is thrilled that Alf Wills, having been a long-time participant in our informal convening of lead climate negotiators during his time in government, is now continuing to contribute to these vital discussions as an expert advisor. Alf brings not only an extraordinary wealth of experience and expertise, but perhaps even more importantly, a rare gift for nurturing common-ground solutions. Alf is a deep listener and a deep thinker. When needed, he is an ardent and articulate champion of the causes he represents. But he is equally adept at intuiting and respecting the perspectives of others, essential skills for achieving successful outcomes.”

“Mr. Wills has long-standing experience with negotiations in the fields of chemicals, waste, climate action and overall sustainable development policy. He is aware of all the pitfalls to avoid in negotiation, but also knows when to take a chance on opportunities. Mr Wills is a highly experienced and skilled moderator who is able to overcome diverging positions and pave the way for necessary compromise. My team and I thank Alf Wills warmly for the excellent cooperation and are delighted that we can continue to benefit from his good advice.”
