Olivia Chapman was appointed Director of Clean State in October and will lead the organisation into an exciting new phase of innovation, actionable research, and policy reform. She brings to Clean State a passion for public-private collaboration having previously led multiple international partnerships that tackled labour market challenges related to emerging technology, COVID-19 and climate change.

“I feel privileged to lead an organisation that has already achieved so much in such a short time.

“I strongly believe Western Australia can be a global leader in climate solutions, particularly in building a world-class renewables sector and supporting industry, workplaces and the community in the transition to a zero-carbon economy.

“A key focus for us, going forward, is providing evidence-based solutions that not only support, but drive the transition to a clean economy.

“We look forward to working hand in hand with the community and an alliance of organisations to achieve a cleaner, safer future for WA.”
