2026: Clean Energy, Stable Climate, Thriving Communities: A Systematic Review and Case-Based Models for Achieving Equitable, Durable Environmental Progress (EDF)
EDF and Cornell’s Center for Conservation Social Sciences will conduct a project that synthesizes research on inclusive and equitable technology, policy, and market-based approaches to climate and energy transitions. The team will translate key findings into practical criteria and actions for organizations like EDF to advance effective, inclusive and durable climate interventions in U.S. and global contexts. We will publish the results, create case studies, share the findings, and integrate the criteria into EDF’s planning, training, and accountability processes, including the new Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning framework; annual Environmental and Climate Justice Intensive training; and the Environmental Justice Principles that guide EDF’s work.
