Since joining SEI in 2008, Aaron has focused primarily on climate change policy and energy policy issues, and in particular on supporting adaptation to the impacts of climate change, as well as on climate finance and climate politics.

During a leave of absence in 2013–14, Aaron worked as climate change adviser for the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), based in Fiji. In this role he worked with some of the smaller Pacific island countries to support policy development and the implementation of specific adaptation or development projects designed to improve the resilience of communities.
