The Climate Policy Lab

Climate change is the most pressing global policy challenge of our time. Without addressing climate change, other global challenges related to health, security, economic stability, conflict resolution, injustice, and sustainable development cannot be adequately addressed. The Fletcher School’s Climate Policy Lab (CPL) at Tufts University works to determine which climate policies work, which don’t, and why.  The lab conducts independent, evidence-based research and policy analysis, providing objective insights that enhance effective climate-related choices for policy makers across the geographic and ideological spectrum. Our work is founded on the desire for sustainable and resilient development that will address climate change in a manner that will improve the quality of life for all people.
