Initiative forSustainable Energy Policy
As the world is running out of time to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, one billion people remain without access to electricity and safe and clean cooking fuels. Pressing environmental problems — including air pollution and early consequences of a changing climate — are concentrated in emerging economies.
How can we promote economic development while minimizing its impact on climate and the global environment?
ISEP — the Initiative for Sustainable Energy Policy — is a research collective that uses cutting-edge social and behavioral science to solve this global challenge. Centered at Johns Hopkins University, our research collective identifies and tests innovative policy solutions for the global energy transition that advance three central goals: impact, justice, and growth.
