Biography
I currently work as a places project manager in a Net Zero Hub working with local authorities across the UK developing investment strategies to unlock finance for their net zero programmes. The focus of my Fellowship is understanding how regional government can sustainably finance climate change mitigation. Sustainability squared!
I will travel to Canada, which is about five years ahead in in this space, to learn how the national government has improved capability skills, how local municipals have developed their portfolios, how effectively funds have delivered, and lessons about how net zero financing programmes have been governed.
I have experienced the challenges faced by the public sector to effectively respond to the Climate Emergency. I have worked passionately researching approaches to bundling assets, engaging with investors, and stacking finance with three mayoral authorities. This project will provide international use cases for knowledge products, best practice to enhance peer learning activities, recommendations for the community of practice of providers, and precedents to support codesigning solutions with investors.
