| Credentials | I have worked for almost 25 years as a pluralist economist in public policy. In the 90s I worked on trade and environment policy for the Australian Government representing them in international negotiations. I also published a chapter on Trade and Environment policy drawing on international political economy literature. In the 00s, I mainly worked for the Environment Agency in the UK on developing tools to support regional sustainable development and developing new approaches to regulation particularly in the water and waste sectors. In the 10s, I have led the reform of the water abstraction regulation system in England and Wales. |
