Joel Kenrick is a former Special Adviser to the UK Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Chris Huhne until his resignation in February 2012.[1]
Kenrick is now a freelance climate consultant, and previously worked as a climate change policy adviser for the CBI. [2]
Background
Edinburgh-born Kenrick attended the United Word College of the Atlantic in south Wales before studying International Relations at the London School of Economics.[3]
As a student, Kenrick was involved in a variety of social and political activism. While at Atlantic College, he organised a protest at an RAF base in South Wales. Interviewed by the BBC, he commented: "We think that if America and Britain are serious about getting rid of weapons of mass destruction then they should start at home".[4] At LSE, Kenrick was a member of student environmental and anti-poverty organisation People and Planet: he ran the Edinburgh Marathon in 2007 to fundraise for the group.[5]
Kenrick was parliamentary researcher to Huhne while the latter was Shadow Environment and Home Secretary, and during the 2007 leadership election campaign. He went on to work as a climate change policy adviser at the Confederation of British Industry (CBI).[6]
In 2009 he was granted an award by the Fulbright Commission to read for a Masters in Public Policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.[7]
