Our founders at the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute, the University of California, Berkeley, Rhodium Group, and Rutgers University, envisioned a world where the management of climate change is evidence-based, effective, and fair when they established the Climate Impact Lab collaborative research organization in 2016. Today, we are a unique collaboration of more than 25 climate scientists, economists, computational experts, researchers, analysts, and students from some of the nation’s leading research institutions dedicated to that purpose.
Support for the Climate Impact Lab has also been provided by:
- Individuals: Mark Heising and Liz Simons; Mac and Leslie McQuown; David G. Booth, University of Chicago Booth School of Business, MBA’71; Donald R. Wilson, Jr., University of Chicago, AB ’88; Stuart Goode; Matt Mackowski; Jeffrey and Victoria Currie;
- Philanthropies: King Philanthropies; the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation; the Heising-Simons Foundation; The Rockefeller Foundation; the Ray and Dagmar Dolby Fund;
- Government and non-governmental organizations: the Tata Centre for Development; the National Science Foundation; the Skoll Global Threats Fund; and the International Growth Centre.
