Our Mission

To assist private and public organizations in making decisions which are scientifically informed, cost-effective, socially equitable, and behaviorally realistic.
To develop and implement strategies assuring that decisions are informed by thoughtful and reasoned public input. Frequently, decisions will have to be made in the face of deep uncertainty about the future climate and its variability, as well as many other social and physical factors.
To prepare graduate students with the knowledge and skills preparing them for careers at the forefront of climate, energy and environmental research with a multidisciplinary perspective.
To disseminate the Center’s insights and results to students at all levels as well as the general public.
