Global to Local Environment Future

This project umbrella aims to explore local approaches to reimagining and prioritizing environmental policy in Chicago and beyond. It is concerned with climate change, economic development, and environmental justice. Projects were developed in conversation with Data for Progress, the Sweetwater Foundation, members of the national security think tank community, and the Illinois Carbon Pricing Coalition.

WORK WITH US

We are always in search of new research opportunities and project ideas. If you represent a nonprofit, government office, elected official, or anyone else with research needs, we would love to learn about them.
