Tufts University at COP29

What is the Climate Policy Lab?

The Fletcher School’s Climate Policy Lab (CPL) at Tufts University works to determine which climate policies work, which don’t, and why.  The lab conducts independent, evidence-based research and policy analysis, providing objective insights that enhance effective climate-related choices for policy makers across the geographic and ideological spectrum. Our work is founded on the desire for sustainable and resilient development that will address climate change in a manner that will improve the quality of life for all people.  The scope of the Lab is highly attuned to state, national, and bi-lateral policy processes while maintaining a global perspective – the motto of The Fletcher School.

Read More About CPL’s Data Work

Accurate and transparent data is fundamental to climate and energy research at Climate Policy Lab (CPL) and beyond. Climate Policy Lab develops analytical tools and government-engagement programs to assist policy makers to estimate the emissions reductions or avoided emissions for specific policies or a range of complementary policies within the context of national political, societal, cultural, and technical landscapes. We believe that access to accurate and transparent data collection and analysis facilitates more ambitious climate action and improves the level of success in achieving urgent climate action goals.
