If methane is the emergency brake on climate change — who’s pulling it? Caitlin Smith is working to make sure governments do. As Campaign Manager at the Changing Markets Foundation, Caitlin leads the organisation’s policy work, engaging with key decision-making processes in the UK, the EU and globally. Her focus: tackling methane emissions as one of the fastest ways to limit catastrophic global heating. Because when it comes to climate, speed matters. The Changing Markets Foundation was created to accelerate and scale solutions by leveraging the power of markets — and Caitlin operates right at that intersection of policy, business and accountability.

She works closely with companies, policymakers and farmers to advance practical recommendations for a more sustainable food system, including plant-rich diets and more sustainable production practices. Before joining Changing Markets, Caitlin led the campaigns team at Save the Children International’s Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe office — bringing strategic advocacy experience to complex global challenges. At Plant FWD, she brings a clear message: the protein transition isn’t just a market opportunity. It’s a climate imperative.
