Jesse Scott leads E3G’s work on ‘Europe in the World’ and E3G's engagement with EU institutions in Brussels. She joined E3G in December 2007.

Jesse’s work currently focuses on climate and energy policy in the European Council and the EU legislative process, financing for low carbon innovation and infrastructure in the context of the EU budget reform debate, and the upcoming Italian Presidency of the G8.
