She was a consultant on the BEIS COP26 Visions Project and a co-author of the project report on just transition in the UK. She recently wrote a policy brief for Education International about the detrimental effects of fossil fuel subsidies on educational performance and is currently exploring their wider implications for other aspects of sustainable development.
