Think tank Green Alliance has announced the appointment of a new deputy director, Tamsin Cooper.

Cooper joins Green Alliance on 6 September. She moves from the Institute for European Environmental Policy where she led the Agriculture and Land Management Programme.

Cooper, who has a PhD in geography from University College London, has played an active role in the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy, and has a detailed knowledge of EU institutions, political processes and the EU budget.

Prior to joining IEEP she worked at the Centre for Environmental Policy at Imperial College.

Cooper said: “This is an exciting opportunity. I’m looking forward to working with the director Matthew Spencer and the rest of the team to ensure that Green Alliance continues to drive the UK’s environmental agenda while growing our influence in Europe.”
