| Resources for the Future scholars are engaged with the linked issues of energy and climate policy on numerous fronts. Much of the work in this area is conducted within two RFF programs, the Climate Policy Program and the Electricity and Environment Program. Issues studied include how to cost-effectively constrain greenhouse gas emissions and limit cost uncertainties, strategies for promoting developing country engagement, policies to reduce emissions through averted deforestation and afforestation, and the question of climate change adaptation. Additionally, RFF researchers are tackling the question of U.S. energy security by examining options for reducing U.S. dependence on oil. |

| FEATURES | | The Cartography of Climate Change | | Climate change is an inherently spatial problem, where the locations of impacts, people, and resources are critical. According to RFF Fellow Shalini Vajjhala and GIS consultant Janet Nackoney, digital mapmaking helps us build a deeper understanding of the complex geographic implications of emerging climate policy decisions. | | Reshaping Government to Address Climate Policy | | Will wholesale government restructuring be needed to deal with the complex questions around climate change in the Obama Administration? A December 3 RFF roundtable addressed this topic in a discussion encompassing regulation, diplomacy and international engagement, science and information, and economic policy. Video and audio available. |
