Excited to start my grad & undergrad classes on the political economy of climate politics this semester 🌍
For the undergrads, I’ve added new simulations — including a day playing Catan: New Energies!
Happy to share syllabi with anyone designing or updating courses.

Excited to announce a new funding opportunity for research on "what works" in climate adaptation. We are specifically looking for strong causal designs that tell us what interventions work (or don't) to reduce impacts of a changing climate. Plz share + apply!
