Chris works across the green economy agenda on cross-cutting policy analysis, building innovative measurement tools and communicating progress on inclusive economic transitions.
His research expertise is based around the policies needed for green economic transitions – economic governance, macroeconomic policy, multilateral frameworks, MSME support mechanisms, inclusive policy design and cost-benefit analysis approaches.
He is also interested in emerging precautionary and beyond-GDP governance approaches, wealth accounts, and normative aspects of environmental governance (discount rate choice, climate justice, deliberative democracy).
