Mr Nuttall joined UNEP in 2001 working for former UNEP Executive Director and former German Minister of the Environment, Klaus Toepfer and is credited with collaborating with Mr Toepfer to develop the UNEP theme "Environment for Development" in order to re-position UNEP in the early 21st century.
During his time at UNEP, Mr Nuttall has been responsible for transforming the organization's media profile and, in collaboration with its Executive Director, inspiring several landmark reports including the 2009 Climate Change Science Compendium; the Natural Fix The Role of Ecosystems in Climate Mitigation and the Dead Planet, Living Planet: Biodiversity and Ecosystem Restoration for Sustainable Development. He has also spearheaded the communications aimed at popularizing the concepts and ideas behind UNEP's Global Green New Deal/Green Economy Initiative.

Mr Nuttall has held positions as a stock, bond and commodity broker

He graduated in 1979 from the University of St Andrews, Scotland with a BSc and is married with three children.
Mr Nuttall has won various awards including one of the inaugural BT technology journalist of the year awards for a feature in The Times on Teledildonics and The Tidy Britain Group's Queen Mother's Birthday Awards.
Mr Nuttall was known at The Times for some of the more exotic front page stories and is thought to be the only journalist in the UK to have a story about a former hairdresser from Hartlepool who had invented a heat shield or coating for the US space shuttle based on doing perms in his salon—printed on 1 April with the Editor's caveat 'This is not an April Fool.'
