Director’s Note

The world economy is undergoing a profound transformation, as developing countries become dynamic emerging economies. While robust economic growth across all continents has lifted billions out of abject poverty, it has also created new problems that undermine human development and threaten environmental destruction.

The Initiative for Sustainable Energy Policy (ISEP) supports sustainable energy policy in emerging economies with bold ideas, rigorous policy analysis, and sustained engagement with policymakers and other change agents. We use cutting-edge social and behavioral science to design, test, and implement better energy policies in emerging economies.

This website offers information about ISEP and our latest news, events, and research. If you are interested in joining the ISEP team, partnering with us as an organization, or making a donation to support our work, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly (JohannesU@jhu.edu). Thanks for visiting!

Yours,

Johannes Urpelainen
