Dr Emily Tyler

Emily has over twenty years of experience in the energy and climate space, bringing the lenses of complexity and systems thinking, economics and finance to the challenges she encounters.  Specific areas of expertise include energy and climate mitigation policymaking, carbon pricing and budgeting, power sector modelling for policy, climate finance, corporate and investor carbon strategies, and national low carbon transition planning.  Whilst South Africa is Emily’s home and work-focus, she has an appreciation for the international context of domestic climate and energy policymaking through her engagement in international partnerships, and work experience in the EU, Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa. Finding the interplay between practice and reflection particularly rich, Emily has worked to retain both her advisory and academic presence throughout her career.  Emily has worked predominantly as a consultant, to local and international civil society, the private sector, government and academia, both independently and in consulting firms, think-tanks and not-for-profit institutions.  Emily holds an Honorary Research Associate position at the University of Cape Town's African Climate and Development Institute, and is frequently engaged in transdisciplinary research initiatives relating to her field and publishes regularly in both domestic and international journals.
