I stopped flying for leisure purposes over 2.5 years ago as the reality of the rapidly diminishing carbon space became clearer to me. As a result I took a fascinating slow travel (three days each way) land and sea trip to eastern Greece instead. I made my last professional flight 18 months ago.

Working in international development my life has necessarily involved flying, as my core research area has been in East Africa. I am therefore now shifting my research focus to the social dynamics of achieving the energy transition in the UK.
