Walton's research focuses on climate change and business, including topics such as circular economies, business preparedness for climate change, and carbon footprints.[9][10] Walton led research, with Janice Lord, that investigated farmers' attitudes to the 2020 National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management, finding that farmers saw a tension between complying with the regulations and being a 'good farmer'.[5] She also conducted a stakeholder analysis on land use around the Macraes gold mine, using discourse analysis to investigate the issues that stakeholders had.[11] Walton has conducted research for OceanaGold and BRANZ, and is part of the Innovation Culture team within the Science for Technological Innovation National Science Challenge.[7] Walton helped produce Stuff's Climate Action Report Card.[9]
