Overview

The Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs develops evidence-based research to help address the world’s most challenging energy and climate problems through research, education, and dialogue. We accomplish this by: producing best-in-class research, providing a global platform to communicate, and training tomorrow’s leaders and communicators.

Our Mission

To be a global leader in advancing evidence-based and actionable energy and climate solutions through research, dialogue, and education.

We bridge the gap between academia and policy to support a global transition to decarbonize our energy system.

Decision makers can struggle to find the independent analysis and information they need to address energy and climate challenges.

In today’s world, balanced research is more critical than ever. By ensuring nonpartisan, quality information is accessible for all, we can help the world make informed decisions.
