Pernille Holtedahl, Founder

I am a Ph.D. economist with 20+ years of experience providing analysis and recommendations to international private and public-sector clients in the areas of environment, energy, and sustainable development.

My current primary interest is in conservation finance; particularly how to monetise environmental benefits and increase the level of private investments in nature.

My areas of expertise are:

  • Conservation finance, nature-based solutions and payment for ecosystem services

  • Green Bonds, Impact Investing and Investor Trends

  • Organisational evaluations and strategic reviews

In addition to running Blue Maia, I am a senior consultant to CICERO Green, and a research fellow at Imperial College’s Centre for Climate Finance and Investments (CCFI).
