Bradford Seminar: “Understanding Climate Change Implications for Human Welfare: Research and Policy Applications”

Fran Moore, associate professor of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of California, Davis, will present “Understanding Climate Change Implications for Human Welfare: Research and Policy Applications.” This seminar will be held in-person (PUID holders only) and available via livestream (open to all).

Moore is an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy and the University of California Davis. She studies the risks climate change poses to human welfare and how individuals and communities respond to mitigate those risks. Her work is highly interdisciplinary with a focus on climate science and environmental economics, but including collaborations with engineers, psychologists, ecologists, and political scientists. Recent research topics include the relationship between climate change and economic growth, climate change effects on natural capital, endogenizing climate policy in models of the coupled climate-social system, and the interaction of climate risk with insurance markets. Between 2022 and 2023 she served as a Senior Economist in the Council of Economic Advisers in the Biden Administration, providing economic and policy analysis on climate change and clean energy issues. She holds the Hurlstone Presidential Chair and is a UC Davis Chancellor’s Fellow.

This event is part of the David Bradford Energy and Environmental Policy Seminar Series organized by the Center for Policy Research on Energy and the Environment (C-PREE) in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and co-sponsored by the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI).
