Biography As a researcher, Amy’s work focuses on the role of civil society groups and local government in promoting innovative and sustainable development in the context of planning, placemaking and place-based identities, political systems and broader policy influence, organisational design and incentivising action on climate and biodiversity issues. Amy has also been leading on biodiversity related-research in freight and logistics and planning and construction, leading to significant engagement with industry experts to co-develop and test metrics, measures and knowledge exchange on nature-positive business practices and research into investment drivers in these different sectors. As a practitioner, she specialises in Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) and Communications, with extensive field-based experience in Southern Africa, Brazil and the UK. She has worked as a Neighbourhood Planning consultant, supporting several community groups and local governments in the UK to produce community-led development plans.
