"As we take actions to reduce the effects of climate change, or help communities adapt, are we really taking a holistic approach? For instance, do we understand the impact, in terms of equity, on communities?"

George Van Houtven

“Actions taken in North Carolina to address climate change could serve as a model and leadership for other states. One example of a step that North Carolina could take would be to implement policies that put a price on greenhouse gas emissions as a way to incentivize cost-effective emission reductions.”

"We know from experience how energy programs can spur economic growth and promote clean energy, how biodiversity programs can preserve natural resources and improve livelihoods, how good governance enables and sustains these improvements, and so much more. These sectors are all connected, and so are our solutions.”

Amy Volckens

“RTI has brought our research capabilities and multidisciplinary teams to environmental problems for 60 years, and we will continue to support our clients with climate actions that improve the human condition.”

“Investment in agricultural R&D, irrigation systems, market access and infrastructure are essential to counteract the effects of factors that increase DALYs in coming decades. To meet the needs and nutrition requirements for society, it is important for policymakers to invest more broadly in food systems, rather than focusing on the production of calories.”

“Every $1 million spent on forest health could create 20 full-time equivalent jobs in the rural Washington community – a testament to how climate solutions can make a positive impact on local economies. By continuing to steward its lands, Washington State can offer significant economic support to its communities through jobs and incomes.”

“I value broad-based partnerships as a central element of improving climate action, clean energy, resilient cities, and gender equality. At RTI, I look forward to building on my experience in developing evidence-driven solutions to climate change.”
