Biography:

Dr. Luke Redmond is an economist trained to MA level with subsequent Doctoral level training in environmental economics; notably carbon markets, emissions trading and climate policy. His PhD examined the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme and understanding the associated carbon market and process of allowance allocation.

Before taking up his current Carbon Market Research Fellow position Luke worked as an economist and project manager with AP EnvEcon. Within AP EnvEcon's research unit Luke's work broadly focused on: energy & environmental modelling; carbon market analysis; and the economics of climate change and related policy formation. With AP EnvEcon consultancy Luke worked across a wide range of sectors (including finance & carbon markets; engineering/technology, government, political, cement) to meet a diverse range of client requirements. Whilst with AP EnvEcon Luke was appointed a member of the Expert Carbon Group to advance and deliver on the concept of the International Centre for Carbon Management as part of the Government backed Green IFSC initiative.

Prior to working with AP EnvEcon Luke was a research fellow at Mission Climat; the centre for carbon economy and climate change economics analysis and research at the Caisse des Dépôts, Paris. Luke was a member of a specialist research team assigned to analyse the ETS and project mechanisms. Luke has previously served as policy advisor to the Cabinet Office of Japan as a member of the ICPSS (International Collaboration Project on Sustainable Societies) and worked as a researcher and project manager with the European Commission Research Network on Emissions Trading (CATEP).

Luke's research interests broadly focus on the areas of environmental economics; carbon markets; emissions trading; flexible market mechanisms; national and international climate and energy policy developments; and emissions mitigation.
