Visiting Fellow
Visiting Fellow
Conor Hickey is a Climate Fellow at Harvard Business School. He uses principles from science and economics to understand how companies can achieve net zero emissions in a financially sustainable way. He investigates three main areas: how economic regulations impact a firm's ability to transition to net zero; how a firm's financial characteristics enable or constrain this transition; and how firms can equate external measures like carbon offsets, particularly removals, with emissions reductions, considering Earth system impacts and governance issues. Prior to his role at Harvard, Conor held positions as an Oxford Net Zero Fellow and Research Fellow at the University of Oxford. At Oxford, he led university-wide research that centered around business models and policies to support the transition to net zero.
