field work (up to 1-2 weeks at a time), project meetings and conferences.

of industrial decarbonisation policy making

4. Strong knowledge and experience of and methods training in, qualitative 
research techniques such as interviewing, database management, and experience 
of writing case studies

[gep-ed] evidence review on climate change and migration

[Jan E Selby]

Dear friends, 

My colleague Gabrielle Daoust and I have just completed an evidence review on 
climate change and migration for the UK gov. While I’m not thrilled about 
having a publication with a Union Jack on the cover, I think - or hope - that 
it’s a useful piece of work and that this doesn't put people off. The report 
can be found here:

Best wishes
Jan
