He is an Honorary Member of the Institute of Risk Management and received it's 2014 lifetime achievement award[1][2]
He noted on his personal website that he was a member of the Covert Policing Ethics Committee in 2009[2] (He lists himself as a member in a speaker's biography in late 2010 though it appears to have had only the one meeting in 2009).[3]).
A former member of Friends of the Earth turned climate 'agnostic', Adams sees global warming as a 'virtual risk', in other words a risk on which scientists cannot agree.[4]
