Testimonials
“One of the best decisions I made was to hire Cathy as our carbon markets advisor. It has really helped advance the project. She has a keen understanding of international carbon trading as well as the emerging voluntary market. She has a collaborative style and is a joy to work with.”
Dale McCormick, Director
Maine State Housing Authority
“I have worked with Cathy for a number of years on issues related to developing a carbon trading initiative in the Northeast States. That effort has now developed into the first viable mandatory carbon trading program in the US — the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). As part of this work, Cathy has also been instrumental in developing voluntary carbon trading initiatives involving energy efficiency projects. She is knowledgeable about the issues — both domestically and internationally — but also has the capacity to bring in stakeholders from various sectors to work together to get systems in place with credible results. I highly recommend her to anyone who wishes to develop voluntary carbon trading programs anywhere in the world.”
Suzanne Watson, Director of Policy

“Cathy's presentations on international carbon markets have provided our companies with an understanding of how emissions trading works and how they can integrate progressive programs into their present structures. Her knowledge on both the national and international front has been invaluable to our businesses.

Cathy Lee was actually born in Maine, but when I led a trade
mission to Brazil she passed for Brazilian everywhere we went. She
really impressed me with her amazing fluency in the language, knowledge
of Brazilian culture, personal and political contacts, and ability
to open doors for Maine businesses.
