About

Background

Prior to joining the Grantham Research Institute, Jodi-Ann was a climate policy specialist at the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment, working closely with governments and financial institutions on implementing the regulatory frameworks and actions needed to align financial flows with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
