Bio
Hi! I'm Jennie. I've spent my career fighting climate change, and have worked with the biggest actors in the world - like the World Bank, Microsoft, MIT, the UN, and others - to figure out how to build a more just and sustainable world. I love dreaming up creative policies and bringing unique solutions to challenges that affect people and the environment!Project ideas
Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.
Imagining a consumer protection campaign around climate change.
60% of carbon emissions can be reduced through consumer behavior, and yet consumers don't have the information needed to make good choices about how to cut their emissions. Let's research what the best levers for change could be!
