Program areas at Resources for the Future
Designing Smart Emissions Reduction Strategies: RFF creates climate solutions that are effective, efficient, equitable, beneficial to the economy, and able to achieve net-zero emissions goals-from economy-wide solutions that send consistent economic signals to the marketplace to sector-specific strategies for all major areas of the economy.
Communications: dissemination of research results in the form of research publications, Resources magazine, Resources radio, the rff website, and other methods. Communications activities advance rff's reputation for independent research and non partisan while informing and shaping public debate. Research publications disseminated include working papers, reports, issue briefs, data tools, and research findings in peer-reviewed journals.
Confronting Risks and Building Resilience: RFF evaluates the physical and economic impacts of climate change, using data to assess risks and uncertainties at global, national, sectoral, and local scales, to ensure that global decisionmakers are equipped with the information they need to build resilience in their communities.
