Sam Lucas

Sam is a Juris Doctor student, having previously completed a Bachelor of Commerce with a major in economics and marketing. He is interested in environmental policy and issues that relate to the current climate emergency.

His legal studies have seen him engage with the Australian Earth Laws Alliance and Victorian Environmental Law Students Society. Sam was previously the project director of Nexus which involved supporting Nepali women affected by the earthquake.

He is currently an analyst at the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) where he supports sustainability issues facing competition and consumer regulation. During the Wattle Fellowship, Sam plans on combining his avid love of the great outdoors (ranging from climbing through to skiing and surfing) with his work in a project focused on greenwashing.

His passion for the environment stems from his desire to protect these natural environments into the future.
