Energy Security and Climate Change Program
Securing the energy transition through leading research and independent analysis
Our team provides the analysis leaders need to build energy security, address global climate change, and alleviate energy injustice.
We provide innovative, strategic insights and policy solutions by examining energy issues at the intersection of geopolitics, policy, markets, and development. Collaborating with leaders in government, industry, academia, and civil society, our team develops projects to help decisionmakers design smart energy policies that balance economic, environmental, and security priorities.
