Developing evidence and analysis since 1990, Peter’s long experience as a social scientist provides the basis for the expertise provided by Climate Change Economics (CCE).
Filling the evidence gaps to achieve net zero
Peter’s groundbreaking research with artisanal enterprises will ease their path to net zero. His thesis has been awarded a PhD at University College London.
CCE supports Governments, both national and local, to develop their carbon mitigation plans with bottom-up research and analysis of GHG mitigation options and by developing energy and emissions projections.
CCE also provides briefing and lectures on the challenges of climate policy, including the roll out of low carbon heat and smart meters.
A career in research, analysis and policy advice
Peter has recently developed social research skills to add to the experience and knowledge he gained as a senior economist for the UK Government and in private consultancy.
Peter’s body of work includes the following:
PhD thesis: Artisanal Bakery Enterprises: Finding a Path to Net Zero.
Developing energy and emissions projections for Montenegro’s climate plan
Developing energy and emissions projections for Luxembourg’s National Energy and Climate Plans
Appraising policy proposals for the North East Scotland Sustainable Energy Action Plan
Groundbreaking EU ETS Benchmarks research
Initial Smart Meter roll out impact assessment
Initial Green Deal impact assessment
Initial RHI domestic scheme impact assessment
Future of heating: evidence annex
Heat metering consultation impact assessment
Other highlights include leading British economic input at international climate change negotiations for the development of the EU Emission Trading Scheme. Peter also produced the first evaluation of the UK's Job Seeker’s Allowance.
Peter Roscoe is from Lancashire in North West England and was educated at Bolton School and the University of London.
Economics has been a life-long interest, ignited by his mother passing him newspaper clippings.
He pursued his education at the London School of Economics after receiving reports of the ‘punk economics’ being taught there – particularly by Michio Morishima, his future father-in-law.
