Dr Nadia Ameli

Nadia Ameli is an experienced researcher on economic, finance and policy aspects of climate change and related energy issues. She is a Principal Research Fellow with a proleptic Academic Appointment at UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources.

Her work explores the cross-cutting role of finance in the global transition to a low-carbon economy, with a particular emphasis on avenues for integrating finance elements into climate policy design. In particular, she is applying complexity thinking and systemic approaches to the study of market structures for low-carbon finance, to identify points of policy intervention that lead to non-linear investment growth trajectories. Nadia has recently been awarded an ERC starting grant to advance the understanding of the role of climate finance to foster the low-carbon transition.

Nadia is also bringing research insights into policymaking and practical experience to bear upon academic studies. Her research supported the work at several international public policy organizations, including the OECD, the European Commission and the United Nations. The impact of her contributions has been recognised through a few influential opinion pieces and coverage in top-tier media (e.g. Sustainable Views in the Financial Times, Bloomberg and Forbes).
