Emma McKelvie

I started in Energy Saving Trust’s policy team in March 2024. After studying politics at the University of Glasgow, I started my career in policy on the graduate scheme at Green Alliance, an environmental charity and think tank. I worked on several transport policy areas, including aviation decarbonisation and EV industry scale up. Prior to joining Energy Saving Trust, I worked for The Climate Group organising high profile climate events including Climate Week NYC.

My main responsibilities including developing, and advocating for, Energy Saving Trust’s key policy positions. This involves writing policy reports, briefings and responding to UK Government consultations. I work closely with our communications team to promote our policy positions in the press and on social media.

Outside of work, I’m a keen runner and love trying new crafts with my friends (like pottery or candle making!). I also volunteer with the UK Youth Climate Coalition (UKYCC), where I am a member of our Systems Change Working Group and organise workshops to engage young people in climate action.
