Sarah Milne is Director of the Resources, Environment and Development Department at the Crawford School of Public Policy. Sarah studies the processes and politics of environmental intervention, particularly when it comes to community-based conservation; resource rights initiatives; and market mechanisms for conservation and carbon sequestration like Payments for Environmental Services (PES), Reducing Emissions from forest Degradation and Deforestation (REDD+), and Carbon Farming. Sarah has combined various roles in research, advocacy and community-engaged practice since 2002, in Australia and Southeast Asia. She completed her PhD in Geography at the University of Cambridge (2010). Sarah is now investigating the impacts and implications of carbon farming in Australia, the world's largest land-sector climate mitigation scheme.
