Overview

Across the US, local governments, nonprofits, and industries are rolling out innovative climate solutions to cut emissions and advance adaptation strategies that improve quality of life. But how do we know which approaches are most effective, and for whom?  Join J-PAL North America, researchers in the J-PAL network, and climate leaders from Orlando, Florida, for a conversation on the role and promise of rigorous evaluation in informing effective, equitable climate solutions. 

During the webinar we will: 

  • Highlight key policy insights from a forthcoming Climate Action Literature Review  developed by researchers in the J-PAL network, which summarizes rigorous evidence across energy, transportation, solid waste, waste and wastewater, and agriculture.
  • Feature a panel discussion with participants from the inaugural J-PAL North Climate Action Learning Lab and their research partners on a study evaluating electric vehicle subsidies for low income households in Orlando, Florida. Panelists will share insights from their Learning Lab experience, including research-partnership building, study design considerations, and future evaluation plans.
  • Review the J-PAL North America Climate Action Learning Lab offering and answer any questions related to this exciting opportunity.

Attendees will also have dedicated opportunities to ask questions throughout the webinar.

This is a session for state and local governments, nonprofit organizations, utility providers, and climate technology innovators interested in learning about key climate policy evidence and generating rigorous evidence to advance their climate goals.
