Hi - I'm Mathew Carr — a reporter with 35 years experience covering markets, business, politics, geopolitics, finance and marketing. I’ve worked for news outfits huge and small, and was one of the first to recognise the importance of the EU carbon market 17 years ago, which is becoming a global benchmark in climate protection. I'm keen on helping business and politics become more sustainable by high-quality reporting and advising. Mathew@carrzee.net to get in touch
