His work draws on a range of heterodox economic thought, especially cultural economy and the sociology of markets, alongside geographical political economy, to examine the mechanisms created by financiers that try to solve varying, but overlapping, environmental crises. He has substantial experience conducting research with financiers and policy makers, and presents research outcomes at industry events as well in academic fora. \u00a0His research across the breadth of environmental finance will be helpful for understanding continuities and differences in the different mechanisms proposed for this study, and his experience in dialogue with financiers and policy actors, including several involved in the proposed research, will facilitate many aspects of the project.
