Personal profile
Research interests
My research is driven by my interest in understanding the twin challenges of environmental protection and economic development, especially where the two intersect. I am interested in questions of appropriate forms of natural resource managment, including the economic and policy instruments that are required to incentivise such management.
I have extensive experience in the Latin America and Caribbean region focusing on the management of forest, mineral and water resources. I also have interests in understanding the impacts and effectiveness of global and regional emissions trading schemes and have undertaken research on both the European Union's Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). I am interested in how engagement with the private sector can help to address local, regional and global resource management issues.
I have experience in a range of primary data collection techniques including
survey design, interviewing and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data
using a range of software packages. I have worked as an independent consultant
for NGOs, industry associations and international research agencies on projects
in relating to climate change, policy design and low-carbon development. I have
published on subjects including REDD+, energy investment and international
climate change mechanisms for engagement with developing countries
