Scott Cato's academic work covers three main areas: firstly the green economy, that is, one which recognises planetary limits and achieves social justice; secondly the economics of co-operatives and social enterprises, and finally critical analysis of the existing monetary system, and alternatives which might replace it.[5]
In 2009 she published Green Economics: An Introduction to Theory, Policy and Practice, where she argues that society should be embedded within the ecosystem, and that markets and economies are social structures that should respond to social and environmental priorities. She includes examples of effective green policies that are already being implemented across the world policy prescriptions for issues including climate change, localization, citizens' income, economic measurement, ecotaxes and trade. In his review of the book in the Journal of Economic GeographyDanny Dorling called it "a serious book written by the grown-up version of the kinds of people who are currently invading airports, chaining themselves to those coal trucks on the way to power stations and populating climate camps".[12]
Her 2011 book Environment and Economy describes the main academic responses to the need to resolve the tension between economy and environment: environmental economics, ecological economics, green economics, and anti-capitalist economics. It covers topics including an introduction to economic instruments such as taxes and regulation; pollution and resource depletion; growth; globalization vs. localization and climate change.
Political career
Scott Cato joined the UK Green Party in 1988,[10] before it became three separate parties for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland in 1990. She has been Co-Chair of the Green Party Regional Council and served on the Green Party Executive as Campaigns Co-ordinator.[10] She wrote Seven Myths About Work as part of a Green Party campaign, Why Work?.[13] She speaks for the Green Party on finance[2] and the EU.[4]
Candidate for the UK Parliament
Scott Cato stood as the Green Party candidate for the Preseli Pembrokeshire constituency at the 1997 and 2005 general elections, coming sixth.[14] For 2017, Scott Cato was selected by the party to stand for the constituency which saw its greatest-swing result in 2015, Bristol West, where the party had been placed second – a seat with a high student and academic contingent to its electorate.[15] She was endorsed by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.[16] She finished in third place in the 2017 election, with the Green share of the vote dropping from 26.8% to 12.9%.
In the 2019 election, she stood in Stroud, with the Liberal Democrats standing down in the constituency and endorsing her as the Unite to Remain candidate.[17] She came third, with 4,954 votes, 7.5% of the total and up 5.3% from 2017.[18]
Local council
In May 2011, Scott Cato was elected to represent Valley Ward on Stroud District Council.[19] In May 2012, she became leader of the Green Group on the council and made an agreement with the Labour and Liberal Democrat groups to take overall control of the council, calling for "constructive co-operation" and rejecting the "tribalism of party politics" in favour of a "more inclusive" approach. She said, "We believe that no one party has a monopoly on good ideas and we will seek co-operation to achieve advances of our policy platform on an issue-by-issue basis."[20] She became chairman of the council's Audit and Standards Committee in May 2013.[19] At the council's AGM in June 2014, Scott Cato announced her resignation, to take effect from 1 July, the start of her mandate in the European Parliament.[21]
European Parliament
In the May 2014 elections for the European Parliament, she was elected as an MEP in South West England for the Green Party, being the lead candidate on the party's list.[22] The Green Party's share of the vote in her region was, at 11.1%, the highest of any electoral region.[23] She had stood for the European Parliament on the Green Party list for the South West region at the previous election in 2009; in 1999 and 2004[24] she had been on the Green Party list in Wales.[10] She stated, after her election, that her priorities as an MEP would be finance and farming: "I'm from the South West – it's vital to our region, and I hope to get farming working in a more socially and environmentally friendly way".[25]
On 1 July 2014, the start of her mandate, she was appointed a full member of the Parliament's Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and a substitute member of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development.[1] In her first speech, also on 1 July, she expressed her opposition to the UK government's attempt to take away from her region control of £450 million EU convergence funding, saying: "Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly have a long history of using these funds efficiently and effectively".[26]
In May 2019, Scott Cato was re-elected in the 2019 European elections.[27] She was the only Green MEP in the South West England constituency and was elected on a vote share of 18.1% (up 7% from 2014).[28]
Localism and community involvement
In addition to her work on Stroud District Council, Scott Cato has, since 2007, been a director of Stroud Common Wealth,[29] a not-for-profit private company, limited by guarantee, which owns and develops property "for community benefit and to enable social enterprise development."[30] She was a director[31] from 2009 to 2012[32] of Transition Stroud, which aims to strengthen the community's local economy, to reduce dependence on fossil fuel and to prepare for climate change.[33] Transition Stroud is part of the Transition Towns network.[34] Shortly after she moved to Stroud in 2006, she joined Stroud Community Agriculture (SCA), and was elected to its "core group" of members.[35][36] SCA is a community-supported agriculture project, organised as a co-operative, which provides locally produced organic food for its members.[37]
In 2009, Scott Cato was one of the founders of the Stroud pound. In 2012, she had an article about local currency published in the International Journal of Community Currency Research.[38]
Together with Patrick Adams and her then partner, Christopher Busby, she founded Green Audit, an environmental consultancy and publishing organisation, in 1992, but later left the organisation, which continues to be run under Busby's direction.[44][45]
Scott Cato supports the EU boycott of goods from illegal Israeli settlements beyond the Green Line, thinks that this boycott should be widened, and supports measures to ensure that the illegal settlements should be excluded from EU relations with Israel. Her sympathy for the Palestinians dates back to time spent teaching in the West Bank when she was a student.[46]

^"Responses from Molly Scott-Cato". Palestine Solidarity Campaign. 8 May 2014. Retrieved 29 June 2014. I have a longstanding concern for the Palestinian people, dating back to a spell spent on the West Bank teaching when I was a student. I have also introduced a motion to our conference calling on the party to organise a campaign to boycott Israeli produce and this is the strictest of my personal shopping boycotts.The issue of Palestine is obviously vital to the Palestinian people but it is also obvious that the festering injustice in that region is feeding global insecurity. As a Quaker I am committed to seeking out the causes of war and the situation in Israel-Palestine seems to me the most glaring contemporary example.
