Bridget was a member of the Executive Committee of the Emissions Trading Group which devised the UK’s innovative Emissions Trading Scheme. She prepared a report commissioned by BP on the potential role of emissions trading and represented Blue Circle on the ETG, preparing reports on the likely role of the market.
The establishment of the first emissions trading scheme has provided an important lead for the City of London and is also a fascinating case study in the interaction between the development of public policy and the role of private sector companies.
