Jodie le Marquand, who studied Ecology and The Environment at Sussex University which took her on various adventures around the globe; from Sussex, Yorkshire, and Devon, to Portugal, Ecuador and Zambia; shares with us her experiences of working in Parrot conservation in Costa Rica and alongside charities such as ‘Greenpeace’ and ‘Friends of the Earth’ In London. Jodie then returned to Jersey to take up a position as Assistant Policy Officer focusing on sustainability. Jodie describes how rewarding and impactful policy work can be, and how working for Government of Jersey can provide you with greater exposure to various workstreams than in other jurisdictions. We learn more about how the Carbon Neutral Roadmap was developed using a people powered approach, the various consultations that took place, the fact that this was the second largest responded to survey Jersey has ever seen, and some of the key policies implemented and how they can support our community in achieving carbon neutrality.
