Larissa in the media

Larissa collaborates with research and advisory organisations on place-based transition issues with a particular focus on the political economy of clean heat, sustainable cooling, and energy efficiency solutions and policy. Larissa works with partners and coalitions in the diplomacy community to foster international coordination on place-based transitions that deliver enhanced ambition in the UNFCCC.

 

Before joining E3G, Larissa worked with the Science Policy Research Unit at the University of Sussex supporting research on the impact of policy mixes and institutional transition on the outcomes of sustainable energy and innovation policy. Prior to this, Larissa spent 5 years working with economic and agricultural development projects in East and Southern Africa where she co-founded a systems-minded consulting firm that offered strategic and organisational learning support.

 

Larissa holds an MSc in Energy Policy from the University of Sussex, where she explored the role of labour in ‘just transition’ policy in Canada. She also holds a BEng in Sustainable and Renewable Energy from Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada.

 

Larissa’s admiration for cooling stems from her love of ice. She spends much of her time in the UK searching for an acceptable curling rink.
