Salem State Professor Noel Healy and Colleagues Publish in Climatic Change

Salem State Geography and Sustainability Professor Noel Healy, along with multidisciplinary researchers from the Brown University Climate Social Science Network,  published a new peer-reviewed paper in Climatic Change. The paper, “Climate policy conflict in the U.S. states: a critical review and way forward” was led by Professors Becky Bromley-Trujillo and Joshua Basseches.

The study provided the first review article of obstruction to state-level climate action. Professor Noel Healy said, “the paper was important as it reviewed the political structures and interest groups that slow climate action across states within the United States.” But more importantly, he added, the “study identified a range of strategies for overcoming opposition to climate action that may advance more effective and inclusive state policy.” Read the paper, available by open access.
