Quantifying the Role of Education

Education is often mentioned as an essential element in responding to climate change, but all too often, education is missing from local or national climate actions plans. One reason for this is that education is hard to quantity in tangible units that are familiar to policymakers, such as tons of CO2 or BTUs. The work done within this research group attempts to quantify and explore further the role that education can play on environmental quality including carbon emissions and air quality. If methodologies can be developed to measure environmental impact of education, then we can quantify the impact of different programs and methods.
