In this role, she supports state, city and federal policymakers as they work to develop and implement policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support clean energy. This includes analysis of the economics of climate action, and work to develop a new framework for climate federalism that supports and strengthens the partnership between city, state and federal governments as they work to drive deep emissions reductions.
