I am contributing to efforts with the Yale Applied Science Synthesis Program, under the The Forest School and the Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture, to understand and improve methodologies for assessing carbon offset projects and crediting schemes, to translate ecological science to carbon market stakeholders, and to communicate the state of carbon markets to ecologists.

A report from a seminar on the topic is available here:

What Makes a High-Quality Forest Carbon Credit? 

Brown University's Climate and Development Lab is an academic think tank focused on domestic and international climate policy. As a member, I studied international climate governance under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), with a particular focus on how we think about the ethics and finances of climate-induced losses and damage policy, as well as transparency in reporting of climate finances.

Some of our publications, reports, and communications available here:

• Financing loss and damage: reviewing options under the Warsaw International Mechanism 

• How Will We Pay for Loss and Damage? 

• The 2015 Adaptation Finance Transparency Gap Report
