About the project team

CarbonLimited is one of a number of RSA projects, based at the RSA in London and is supported by the various functions of the RSA, including the press, public affairs and events teams. 

CarbonLimited currently has two advisory groups and two steering groups, as follows:

Steering group - Economics
Our assessment of the potential economic impacts of personal carbon trading, 'A Carbon Traded World', being run jointly with Green Alliance, has a steering group comprising:

• James Cameron, Climate Change Capital
• Kevin Anderson, Tyndall Centre
• Michael Roberts, CBI 
• Ed Mayo, National Consumer Council
• David Green, BCSE

Steering group - Transport
Our research programme 'Personal Carbon Trading and Transport' is being overseen by an expert steering group:

• David Quarmby (Chair), also Chair of the Independent Transport Commission
• Professor Abigail Bristow, Leader of the Transport Group, Loughborough University
• Dr Jillian Anable, Research Fellow, Centre for Transport Policy, Robert Gordon University
• Dr Miles Tight, Senior Lecturer, Institute for Transport Studies, Leeds University
• Professor Sheri Markose, Director of the Centre for Computational Finance and Economic Agents, University of Essex
• Professor Steve Stradling of the Transport Research Institute, Napier University

Overall Advisory Group
To provide the project with overall guidance regarding the issue of personal carbon trading, an advisory group was set up to represent those with a role in developing the ideas around personal carbon trading and those with the specific expertise we identified as required to help guide the more focussed work programme areas and may therefore also be involved in an expert steering group. The advisory group members are:

• Dr Kevin Anderson, Tyndall Centre
• Richard Starkey, Tyndall Centre
• David Fleming, The Lean Economy Connection
• Mayer Hillman, Policy Studies Institute
• Catherine Bottrill, Environmental Change Institute
• Peter Jones, Biffa
• James Cameron, Climate Change Capital
• David Quarmby, Independent Transport Commission
• Derek Osborn, Sustainable Development Observatory
