Abstract:
From 2019 I’ve worked on climate and energy analysis as a civil servant inside HM Treasury (the UK’s economic and finance ministry). In particular as the head of analysis for the Treasury’s Net Zero Review (2020 and 2021), probably the most substantial public contribution to climate change analysis from the Treasury since the Stern Review. I will give some reflections on how the Treasury approaches climate and energy analysis and decision making and give some suggestions for how academics could increase the impact of their research on policy makers, particularly in a UK context.
