OUR VISION
Climate solutions that reduce pollution and provide transformative local benefits, especially for historically marginalized communities

OUR APPROACH

The climate emergency presents dangerous risks and opportunities that can improve the lives of those impacted by pollution and poverty. Our research guides effective and equitable climate policies and investment programs that empower underserved communities.

FEATURED RESEARCH

What is the role of local democracy in reshaping towns and cities as they confront growing climate hazards? Led by our faculty director, Megan Mullin, this research examines whether local efforts to become more resilient reinforce racial and economic inequalities caused by past policies.
