The Harvard Initiative to Reduce Global Methane Emissions seeks meaningful and sustained progress in global methane-emissions reductions through research and effective engagement with policymakers in government and key stakeholders in business, nongovernmental organizations, and international institutions. Reduced methane emissions can significantly reduce, in the near term, the magnitude of climate change and its associated impacts. The Harvard Methane Initiative's objectives are to build on scientific research on measurement and attribution of emissions; understand legal, regulatory, and political opportunities and constraints to methane-emissions reductions in the United States; design policies that might best contribute to methane emissions reduction; work effectively through existing international venues, such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change; and define roles that business and international and multilateral organizations can play in this effort.I am, as well, the co-director for a project on international cooperation within the Harvard Methane Initiative.The Harvard Methane Initiative is supported by a generous grant from the Salata Institute for Climate Change and Sustainability at Harvard University.

I co-direct a major, multi-year project established in 2006 to help identify and advance scientifically sound, economically sensible, and politically pragmatic public policy options for addressing global climate change. Drawing upon leading thinkers in countries around the world (including Argentina, Australia, Chile, China, Europe, Korea, India, Japan, and the United States), the Harvard Project conducts research on policy architecture, key design elements, and institutional dimensions of international and domestic climate policy. The Harvard Project strives to effectively communicate the results of this research to negotiators and policy makers, with a view to stimulating new thinking on approaches to addressing global climate change.

Co-design curricula for two HKS executive education programs on climate-change and energy policy (2016 – present); Advise HKS students conducting Policy Analysis Exercise (second-year capstone project for Master in Public Policy students, 2016 - 2019); Adjunct Lecturer in Public Policy, teaching course on international climate-change policy and leading climate-change negotiation simulation for Mason Fellows Summer Seminar (mid-career students from emerging economies) (2017 – 2019).

During the period December 2020 - March 2021, as well.

Teaching courses on climate-change policy for international Ph.D. students.
