What We Do
Important research flows from important questions.
The Conceptual Investigations Unit investigates climate, energy, and society through conceptual analysis, quantitative modeling, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Climate and climate impacts
How can we improve our thinking about the intersection of the climate system and human welfare?
Balancing goals
How can we improve our thinking about balancing long-term climate goals and alleviation of near-term human suffering?
Improving civility and developing respect
How can we help people who share broad goals, but have real differences, work together as allies?
