Encantada de ver este artículo en una revista chilena presentando nuestra investigación sobre el impacto de energía solar en la salud de poblaciones chilenas!! ☀️⚡️

Want to learn more? Download our working paper from the @RFF webpage, and while you are there- check out our work on climate change issues and the clean energy transition! 9/9 rff.org/publications/w…

Importantly, our discipline will require adjustments for us to be able to effectively include CEnR in our methods toolbox – these changes will have to come from all of us, from the individual researcher to journal editors and University administrators. 8/9

Are you an environmental economist working on equity policies around the clean energy transition? If so, does your work include the perspectives of the communities affected by these policies? If not, it certainly can, and perhaps it should! 🧵1/9

@MonikaEhrman @rff @billypizer @margaretwalls1 @SMULawSchool @SMU @lyleengineering Thanks so much for participating, Monika! We are lucky to have your insights and those of the other awesome researchers who also participated.

Fantastic conversation at yesterday's @rff Environmental Justice Scholars Workshop! Thanks to #SuzanneRusso for her leadership of the RFF Environmental Justice Initiative and invitation to participate. Thanks to @billypizer #JimBoyd @margaretwalls1 @starbeia for all their work

Whoever says economists are no fun haven’t met this group!! 🥳 @AereOrg

Join me next Thursday for a webinar on #community engagement around #mine development! I’ve got a killer lineup with expert researchers and practitioners who have on the ground experience working with communities. Register today!! rff.org/events/environ…

Check out my new blog post, co-authored with @NafisaLohawala & Josh Linn, on the need for advanced economic modeling to ensure our truck decarbonization policies are effective and cost-efficient! resources.org/common-resourc…

13 years ago marked the first day of my career as an environmental economist ✨🥸🎓I never would have imagined ending up in the NGO space, but am grateful every day for having taken this path. ⚡️🚙🔌☀️interested in pursuing a PhD but unsure of a future in academia? Let’s chat!!

For more analyses on environmental policies and investments, check out my organization rff.org. Most of what I do is transport related, however- you can find that work at rff.org/topics/transpo…

In a nutshell: solar generation increased => coal generation decreased => air quality got better => populations downwind improved their respiratory outcomes! (9/9) #solarenergy #renewables #health #airqulity

Solar power could have real health benefits by reducing our reliance on dirty sources, like coal. But to what extent? And who will benefit the most? Jointly w/ @nathaly_rivera and @jcristobal_rt, we ask this in the setting of northern Chile. Here’s what we found. 🧵(1/9)
