WHO IS ROBERT SWAN?

Robert Swan OBE: "The Greatest Threat to Our Planet Is the Belief That Someone Else Will Save It"

Antarctica has been described as "a silence deep with a breath like sleep." Some say that the continent's

profound beauty haunts you for the rest of your days. One man who understands this better than most is,

polar explorer turned environmentalist, Robert Swan OBE.

Mr. Robert is an exceptionally gifted communicator. Swan’s unique insights and lessons learned have

enabled him to educate and stimulate young people and business leaders all around the world.

He compares his icy experiences to boardroom maneuvers. His inspirational addresses on leadership and

teamwork have received acclaim from discerning audiences worldwide.

In 1986, he made the longest unassisted walk ever to the South Pole. Three years later he went onto the

North Pole and by the age of 33, he became first person in history to walk to both North and South Pole.

His contributions to education and environment have been recognized on an international scale, seen

through his appointment as United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for Youth and Special Envoy to the

Director General of UNESCO. He was awarded the high distinction of OBE, Officer of the Order of the

British Empire, as well as the Polar Medal by Her Majesty.

He spends most of his time lecturing around the globe to drum up support for the Antarctic -- he wants it to

avoid the same fate as its northern sister the Arctic, which is currently being fought over for its natural

resources.

Since 2003, he has led annual expeditions to Antarctica with students and business executives, to focus on

leadership training, environmental clean-up and education initiatives.

The ‘Inspire Antarctic Expedition’ teams helped design and build the world’s first renewable energy

Education Station in Antarctica, called the E-Base.

Robert has an extraordinary ability to thrill, uplift and inspire from his experiences the young minds who

are the leaders of tomorrow.
