Center on Global Energy Policy

Advancing smart, actionable, and evidence-based energy and climate solutions through research, education, and dialogue.

The Center provides independent, balanced, data-driven analysis to help policymakers navigate the complex world of energy. We approach energy as an economic, security, geopolitical, and climate concern. And we draw on the resources of a world-class institution, faculty with real-world experience, and a location in the world’s finance and media capital.

The Center undertakes original research into the causes of environmental change, the consequences of this change for humanity, and the policies that can prevent and—where possible—reverse harmful environmental change to ensure sustainable development.

SIPA's newest initiative focuses on the interdependencies between investments and major challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, poverty, and social inequalities.

Recognized as the best program to combine economic and natural science/engineering, SIPA's PhD program is a powerhouse of research activity.
