Greg Andeck is Director of Partnerships at The Change Climate Project, a nonprofit that assists companies in reducing their emissions that contribute to climate change.
From 2015-2022, Greg served as the National Audubon Society’s lead lobbyist in North Carolina, overseeing the group’s policy priorities with the General Assembly, Office of the Governor, and state agencies. Under his leadership, the organization secured historic levels of state funding for new parks and conservation lands, improvements to wildlife habitat, and natural flood protection. Audubon’s bipartisan efforts also enabled passage of historic climate and clean energy legislation in 2021.
While at Audubon, Greg initiated a novel partnership with First Lady Kristin Cooper to improve wildlife habitat on the grounds of the Executive Mansion in Raleigh and the Governor’s Western Residence in Asheville. He also led a successful campaign to permanently protect Lea-Hutaff Island, one of the Southeast’s most pristine and biodiverse barrier islands.
Early in his career, Greg spent over a decade with Environmental Defense Fund, working with leading companies and policymakers to scale new innovations that have combined business and environmental benefits. He designed groundbreaking sustainability partnerships for the environmental NGO with AT&T, Compass Group, private equity giant KKR and other firms.
Greg’s work has been featured in leading southern and state periodicals including Garden & Gun, Carolina Country, and Walter Magazine.
Greg has a Bachelor of Science degree in Natural Resources from Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., and a Master of Environmental Management degree from Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment in Durham, N,C. He lives in Saxapahaw, N.C.
