Emily is leading the policy and finance work of the Natural Capital Project. This involves developing tools to enable information on ecosystem services to be effectively incorporated into decisions, policies and finance systems. Emily’s research interests include valuation of and payments for ecosystem services, particularly in small islands, and marine and coastal environments. She has used environmental economics to influence policy in the Pacific, Caribbean and Europe, including black pearl farming in the Cook Islands, aggregates extraction in the Marshall Islands and forest biodiversity in Montserrat. She has built environmental economics programs and projects – leading research, developing toolkits, training staff and providing policy advice. She previously worked as environmental economics advisor to the UK government, based at the Joint Nature Conservation Committee. In 2003-2005, she was awarded an Overseas Development Institute Fellowship, to work as a Resource Economist based at the Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission in Fiji. Emily received a Masters Degree in International Policy Studies from Stanford University, and a Bachelors Degree in Economics from Cambridge University.
