I’m Lily Greene — an environmental and regulatory consultant dedicated to helping climate-driven organizations bring bold ideas to life. With years of experience in environmental and administrative law, I’ve worked across local, state, and federal levels to help public-interest organizations, land trusts, nonprofits, and climate-aligned startups navigate the complex world of regulations, permitting, and funding. My specialty is translating dense legal and regulatory frameworks into clear, actionable strategies — giving small teams the clarity and confidence to move their missions forward.
I started Greene Policy Solutions with a simple idea: navigating the regulatory landscape shouldn’t require a big law firm retainer. I offer flexible, affordable services tailored to meet the needs of mission-driven teams, because the work you’re doing deserves expert support without barriers. When you work with me, you get strategic, pragmatic advice grounded in deep knowledge of how laws, policies, and permitting systems actually operate — and a partner who is as invested in your success as you are.
I earned my B.A. from Brown University and J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center, where I served as Managing Editor of the Georgetown Environmental Law Review. Over the course of my career, I have held positions with the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Natural Resources Defense Council, leading environmental law firms, and a top-tier consulting firm. My background spans regulatory compliance, permitting strategy, policy development, and federal funding navigation, with deep expertise in programs like the Inflation Reduction Act, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and Justice40 Initiative. I bring a broad perspective from advising clients at the local, state, and federal levels, always with a focus on mission-driven impact.
Clarity over complexity: I believe good advice makes things easier, not harder.
Mission-driven partnership: I work with clients who are actively working to solve pieces of the climate puzzle.
Strategic vision: I help you see the full legal and regulatory landscape — not just a piece of it.
Accessibility and Affordability: I tailor my services to fit the scale and resources of your organization.
