Catherine Cameron

Catherine is a co-founder and one of three Directors of Agulhas Applied Knowledge.

Catherine is leading this innovative programme, which is seeks to deliver a successful, aspirational positive story of sustainable living. It will capture and reframe what a good life looks like, as an alternative to current consumption led aspirations. The programme will tap into the views of a broad selection of UK voices, including marginalised voices. It will use a combination of quantitative and qualitative research techniques.

She was a Visiting Fellow at the Smith School of Enterprise and Environment at Oxford for four years supporting the founding of the Stranded Assets Programme. She was a Senior Associate at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership for five years developing and chairing the Climate Leadership Programme.

Work w/ CUSP

The Living the Dream research programme shares similar objectives with CUSP and so by working together we will be able to pool data, discuss emerging findings and collectively amplify the debate. We plan to hold joint workshops to explore and develop the emergent new narrative, and to cross promote each other’s work and publications in order to generate a wider debate.
