About the Program
By leveraging strengths in interdisciplinary research and practice, and its enduring partnerships with NGOs, policymakers, and the private sector, Brown has a unique opportunity to advance equitable climate solutions — and envision future climates and their impacts on communities — across local, regional, national, and international scales.
Working Groups
ECF will fund working groups to advance research agendas. Working groups will be composed of scholars from across Brown as well as community partners and will be supported by a cross-campus cohort of ECF-funded postdoctoral scholars and undergraduate research assistants.
Annual Conference
ECF will host an annual conference that will cultivate local, regional, and national networks in support of Brown’s emerging ECF-related research agendas.
Course Curation
ECF aims to enable the collection and curation of courses focused on climate drivers, impacts, and solutions across campus.
Researchers bring global knowledge into conversation with community decision-makers to co-design local climate resilience plans.
Recognizing the value of strategic cross-campus synergies, the initiative is grounded in deep partnership between several Brown departments.
