Andrew Sudmant
Andrew is a Research Fellow at working under Professor Andy Gouldson on the Economics of Climate Smart Cities research program. At the Climate Smart Cities team program mini-Stern review studies are conducted by consulting with regional development authorities, national and municipal governments and partner universities to identify cost-effective climate change mitigation measures in cities. With this work the Climate Smart Cities program not only explores the case for green growth but the opportunity for climate change mitigation policies to enhance energy security and public health, raise employment, stimulate investment and improve public finances.
Andrew has an MSc Environmental Policy and Regulation from the London School of Economics and a BA (Honours) Economics from the University of British Columbia.
