Devyani Singh

Senior Researcher
Stand.earth Research Group
Canada

I work on various topics under Energy and Climate policy. My inter-disciplinary research has included energy access & transitions in the Global South, air-quality (GHG emissions accounting), evaluating climate impacts of national policies, natural resource economics, environmental [carbon] finance, forest sustainability, and methane emissions from oil and gas production. As a result, I have coordinated multiple research projects across sectors (industry, academia, government, Indigenous communities, and non-profits) and countries (India, Canada, US).

Outside of academia, I have consulted on carbon markets and policy for New Forests Inc., and worked with the First Nations on non-timber forest products. At Stand.earth Research Group I have led research projects that incliude petrochemicals, aviation, last mile delivery, climate finance, LNG expanision, and energy transition at national and municipal level. 

In the past, I also worked as a Senior Financial Analyst for various Fortune 200 companies after obtaining an MBA in Finance. However, inspired by the magnitude and importance of global climate change, I changed career paths and obtained an M.Sc. in Environmental Science, and a Ph.D. in Energy & Climate Policy. I actively promote engagement with policy makers and the public for evidence-based decision-making.

In my free time you can find me hiking with my dog Zephyrus, running along the sea wall in Vancouver, or playing Ultimate Frisbee.
