    Developing equitable strategies to address the growing threat from climate-induced wildfires.

  • School Electrification

    Creating pathways for school electrification to cut climate pollution from public infrastructure and boost community resilience.

  • Social Psychology of Climate Change Policy

    Examining how social factors, such as beliefs and social norms, impact support for climate policies and influence climate action or inaction.

  • Climate Risk Disclosure

    Evaluating the highest impact strategies for the climate risk disclosure movement.

  • IRA Implementation

    Leveraging the success of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) to craft climate and energy policy roadmaps at the US state-level and internationally.
