Rodney worked at the Grantham Research Institute from March 2014 until January 2016. He was primarily responsible for providing policy-related research assistance to Professor Stern. He was also a Policy Analyst within the Institute’s policy team, working on projects relating to financing the adaptation to and mitigation of climate change impacts. Rodney left to work as a Senior Analyst on Climate Finance at Climate Policy Initiative<\/path><\/svg><\/a>. He is now a Policy Analyst in the OECD’s Green Finance and Investment<\/path><\/svg><\/a> team.<\/p>\n

Background<\/h2>\n

Rodney has been involved in the energy and climate change sector since 2006, working on climate finance, renewable energy and carbon economics. He started his career in the UK as an Energy and Carbon Analyst with National Grid, one of the world’s largest utilities, before becoming Senior Research Analyst with IDEAcarbon, an independent London-based group specialising in providing financial intelligence and advice on carbon markets and climate policy. For two years, Rodney volunteered to lead the CDM\/JI commentary at Climatico Analysis.<\/p>\n

Prior to working at the Grantham Research Institute, he was with the Climate Policy Initiative in Berlin and Venice. Here, he analysed the role of public money to mobilise private climate investment, tracked current climate finance flows globally and for Germany, and worked with policymakers to test the effectiveness of European energy and climate policies, including energy network regulation and financing, renewable energy support and carbon market design. He returned to CPI as a Senior Analyst in Climate Finance in 2016, before moving to the OECD’s Green Finance and Investment team in the Environment Directorate in 2017.<\/p>\n

Rodney holds a MSc (First Class with Distinction) in Sustainable Energy Systems specialising in the economics of the power system and climate policy design, and a BSc (Hons) in Mathematics, both from the University of Edinburgh.<\/p>\n
