Over a decade in climate policy, now independent

I'm Kristen Green, a climate change economist and consultant. Kapiti Climate is my independent consultancy, based in London. It's just me: I do the work myself, from the data to the recommendation.

I spent ten years working on climate policy for the New Zealand Government. At the Ministry for the Environment, my advice supported the Government's decisions on New Zealand's first Paris Agreement target. At the Ministry for Primary Industries, I worked on the pricing of agricultural emissions, and advised Ministers on the design of the NZ ETS and its forestry rules.

Since 2024 I have worked on carbon markets and climate policy for public bodies, non-government organisations, investors, traders and businesses across North America, Europe, New Zealand and the Asia‑Pacific. I also write about both on Substack.

Happy to talk through a question, large or small.
