Brendan Moore is Senior Research Associate at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, University of East Anglia. His research focuses on EU climate change policy, the politics of emissions trading, and the impact of Brexit on UK and EU environmental governance. He is the network coordinator of the Brexit & Environment network, a group of scholars providing independent research on how Brexit is affecting policy, governance, and the environment

'In many countries contemporary policy-making is dominated by policy churn or the tendency for policy aims, goals, programmes and policies to bounce back and forth as governments and popular opinion change. While in some cases these short-term fluctuations may not affect longer term policy goals and aspirations, in many others this pattern of policy-making can be very damaging to attempts to resolve problems such as climate change or pensions that require sustained and consistent long-term policy effort. In such cases policy-makers and their advisors – 'policy designers' – are rightfully concerned with better understanding how policy durability can be built into present day choices and programmes in order that they can withstand partisan and other forces driving short-termism. Written by experts in the field, Durable by Design? carefully examines and draws lessons from three key cases of efforts to design robust and resilient policies in the environmental sphere in Europe. The book illuminates the phenomenon of policy feedback and explains how these policy dynamics can be managed so that policy solutions can be made consonant with problems of this type.'
