We are six friends from different countries who met during our master’s in the economics of climate change and energy.
We come from economics, engineering, policy, finance, and data — different toolkits, same goal: to help make climate action smarter through clear analysis and practical ideas.
Carbon Sense is where those perspectives meet. We built it because the transition is messy — and too often, decisions are made with partial facts or misunderstood models.
Our goal is simple: to make the economics of climate change understandable, rigorous, and relevant. We bridge the gap between academic research and real-world policy, showing how economic reasoning can help (and sometimes hinder) effective climate action.
Our backgrounds complement each other — market design and power systems; climate finance and investment; regulation and competition; measurement, reporting, and verification; data and visualisation. We test claims against data, show our methods, and keep the writing plain.
We also became close friends through the program. That helps. We argue, we revise, and we keep each other honest. The result is work that’s independent, readable, and useful to people building, regulating, financing, or studying the transition.
We don’t push one model or ideology. Our aim is to help readers think like economists about climate change — to understand trade-offs, assumptions, and the reasoning behind the numbers.
We publish every two to three weeks. Each post stands alone — but together they form a growing library of concepts, case studies, and insights at the intersection of economics and climate policy.
We test ideas, share data, and stay transparent about assumptions. We write for clarity, not clicks.
Let’s make sense of climate economics — together.
