Sean Rai-Roche
Policy Advisor
Sean is a Policy Advisor in E3G's Global Clean Power Diplomacy team, advocating for the benefits of renewable energy projects as part of the drive to stop coal power construction.
Sean leads the renewable energy work on the GCPD team, analysing trends in the political economy of renewables deployment, highlighting real world delivery, and working with clean energy alliances to raise political ambition. He also supports the UK Government’s Clean Energy Transition Partnership initiative that works to unlock greater amounts of international public climate finance for the energy transition in emerging markets and developing economies.
Before joining E3G, Sean worked as a journalist in the renewable energy industry for an international publisher. His investigations have helped him build a strong understanding of the policy mechanisms that can support the shift to clean energy as well as the barriers and obstacles to greater renewable deployment.
