Beyond Zero Emissions

Lachlan is the Project Lead for BZE’s Repowering our Regions work. Repowering our Regions takes our research and applies it to fossil fuel dependent towns and communities around Australia – showing a low-carbon, prosperous future is possible now.

Before coming to BZE, Lachlan was with the City of Melbourne, where he worked on corporate Power Purchase Agreements and residential energy efficiency programs. Prior to his time at the City, Lachlan worked in advocacy roles with Friends of the Earth and the Community Power Agency. Lachlan has also worked with MPs and on political campaigns in the UK and Australia.

Lachlan has a Masters of Public Policy and a Bachelor of Arts, both from the University of Melbourne. He hails from Hobart and cites the attempted destruction of Tasmania’s old-growth forests as inspiring his activism.
