Natalie Merrick

Natalie joined Carbon Co-op in October 2023 as a project officer in the retrofit team. She has recently gained her degree in MSc International Public Policy, which involved working with the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland to understand the perspectives of stakeholders across society to achieve a just transition to net zero. With a geography background, Natalie is interested in taking a place-based approach to energy justice to understand the relationship between people and the environment.

She is passionate about social justice and is also involved in the UK Youth Climate Coalition to communicate messages and engage with policymakers. She is keen to engage with communities to understand and apply this work in retrofit to power a community-led transition.
