Emma Kuusela-Opas

Consultant

“I believe that the green transition is inextricably linked to the concept of a just transition. This means that the systematic sustainable transformation of our society must be carried out in a way that is both socially and ecologically just. As a graduate of an international master programme in environmental law, I came to understand how legal and political systems are key to achieving the necessary just, green transition.

At Gaia, I get to help our clients understand the impacts of law and policy on their sustainability work. I am especially interested in seeing how the development of legal requirements puts biodiversity protection, circular solutions, and strategic sustainability at the heart of business practices. Caring is a core value in our working community and working alongside my talented colleagues allows me to continually grow my professional skill set.”
