New research focused on understanding U.S. public sentiment around nuclear power suggests a lack of majority opposition to nuclear power, in general, and fusion technology, in particular. In the case of fusion energy, the data indicate a slight majority of support.

AGCI and colleagues have developed a framework for testing innovative, collaborative approaches to doing research, which leverages existing research efforts and aims to yield more interconnected and decision-relevant research outcomes in the Colorado River Headwaters.

Authors of a recent study on climate change communication tested the hypothesis that people will be more likely to act when they believe a particular…

Feeding 10 billion people sustainably by 2050 while conserving nature and addressing climate change is humanity’s greatest challenge. Almost a billion people worldwide experience food insecurity, while an estimated 40% of all food produced is lost or wasted. At the same time, food and agriculture are the main drivers of biodiversity loss globally, constituting a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, with a large climate impact.

Engaged research can help ensure that the evidence generated by research transforms from potentially useful to actually usable. But more evidence is needed about the conditions and components that allow engaged research to deliver impact and improved outcomes across a range of sectors.

Recent research sheds light on the common barriers we face when making choices that can reduce carbon emissions and the many ways one person really can make a difference.

There is growing evidence that the climate crisis could be transforming our minds as well as the environment. AGCI's James Arnott and Energy Innovation's Shannon Stirone explore the latest research in this piece for Yale Climate Connections.
