Ewa Kmietowicz
Committee on Climate Change
DecarboN8 was fortunate to have benefited from the insights of Ewa during the first half of the programme and were deeply saddened by her untimely passing in early 2022.
A skilled economist, Ewa spent almost 20 years working across Government, including roles with the Department for Work and Pensions and the former Department for Energy and Climate Change, before arriving at the CCC in 2012.
In transport, she was integral to CCC recommendations for a phase-out of petrol and diesel cars and vans by the early 2030s, now a core UK Government policy. Her generosity of time and insight was incredibly important to the start up of DecarboN8.
