Advisory work across net-zero strategy, carbon markets and value-chain decarbonisation — the attempt to price a shared problem.
Joseph Sarvary
I’m Joseph Sarvary — an energy and sustainability advisor at SLR Consulting, founder and chair of the charity EveryDrop, and I build and run agentic AI systems in production. This site holds my portfolio and my working positions on the problems I care most about: the ones that demand collective action.
The world has never been better than it is today. The world could be much better.
The world is full of majesty — and yet billions still suffer daily. Many of the world’s most pressing challenges are best solved through collective action, and collective action often requires sacrifice from those who have more. This is objectively true as we observe our slow and underwhelming progress on climate action, and it will once again rear its head in our communal handling of AI’s impact on economics, global power and inequality. I’m working to better define a path of thoughtful consideration and morally grounded action to address these shortcomings — ideally in time to ensure that our generation focuses as much on helping those with the least as on advancing the innovations offered to those with the most.
Four strands of work
The work here runs along four strands:
- Policy & markets Attempts to price a shared problem.
- Norms & participation Attempts to build the willingness to give.
- AI The next commons problem.
- Experiments Things I have built — pilots, prototypes and tools, presented as such.
