Developing the sustainability leaders of tomorrow to
answer the world’s critical environmental challenges

 

Environmental policy safeguards our natural world. It provides tangible and measurable strategies for government, corporations, other public and private organisations, and individuals to plan for a future in which people and nature can thrive together. The Centre for Environmental Policy works at the interface between science/technology and policy, to understand complex scientific issues and co-create solutions for real-world environmental challenges.

Scientists and technologists are making significant discoveries and innovations that could help pave the way to a sustainable future. Sound environmental policy provides the platform on which to examine the economic, societal and political dimensions of environmental solutions, to ensure they can be implemented effectively and fairly. Environmental policy turns new scientific understandings into measurable environmental impact. Research at the CEP tackles a wide range of environmental topics with a focus on informing public policy and ensuring the commitments made by government, businesses and civil society to mitigate human impact on nature and natural resources can be upheld. CEP is looking for the sustainability leaders of tomorrow that can help shape these policies and become part of the solution to the world’s critical environmental challenges.

I am a highly motivated, enthusiastic, and environmentally conscious graduate with a good understanding of the workings of the water industry in the UK and other European countries. I graduated from St Mary’s University Twickenham with a Bachelor’s degree in Geography and I progressed to achieve a Master’s degree in Environmental Technology degree from Imperial College London. Throughout my Master’s degree, I became increasingly interested in water pollution management and my thesis involved an analysis of the scale and magnitude of Combined Sewage Overflow pollution in England. I am fortunate to be supported by a loving family, amazing supervisors and staff at CEP.

Scarlett specialised on the Environmental Assessment and Management option of the course. Prior to Imperial, she graduated with an MSci in Earth Sciences from UCL. Her thesis saw her develop ‘A Simplified Approach to Quantify Air Pollution Reduction from Traffic Change Scenarios’, to allow changes in exposure to pollutant concentrations to be included in Health Impact Assessments of traffic abatement policy more easily.

Prior to starting at Imperial I had A-levels in a bizarre combination of English, Maths and French and an undergraduate degree in philosophy. I’m a keen squash player although playing at imperial made me realise quite how much worse than the average keen squash player I was. While I did not engage too heavily with the societies at Imperial, this was mainly because my course mates kept me busy with new and interesting activities every few weeks. Bouldering, hiking and cycling are just a few of the things I would not have learned to love if it weren’t for the amazing people on the course encouraging me to come along. It was a fantastic year and I would recommend it to anyone who is even tempted.

I came to Imperial following an undergraduate degree in Biological Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, specialising in ecological conservation. The MSc in Environmental Technology allowed me to explore the social challenges surrounding the protection of our environment, particularly through environmental economics and policy (my chosen specialisation). My thesis explored the historical development of the Public Money for Public Goods principle - the foundation of the post-Brexit Agriculture Act. This gave me the rewarding opportunity to interview MPs, civil servants, NGO representatives, and leading agricultural economists.

Helena worked as the Sustainability Lead in PwC's Disruption & Innovation team prior to this Masters, and is a passionate climate activist, having been involved with Extinction Rebellion and Greenpeace in the past, and now also works in a supporting role for the Climate Vulnerable Forum. Helena's thesis research was looking at the link between human rights and climate change, and assessing the potential impact of a UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Climate Change. Helena hopes to move into the field of climate justice in her career, alongside maintaining the social media page she uses to educate and inform others about climate change. Helena also won the Ross Makuch Memorial Law Prize for her thesis work.
