The Samuel Neaman Institute interdisciplinary energy and environment research cluster encompasses a broad spectrum of focus areas. It explores the sustainability of energy and waste supply chains, examining diverse policies and management approaches. The focus extends to strategies for minimizing greenhouse gas emissions through the promotion of innovative technologies, economic incentives, and enhancing policymakers’ understanding of the social and psychological factors that influence changes in attitude and behavior. Additionally, our research addresses climate change adaptation, emphasizing urban resilience and the advantages of forests and open spaces in promoting personal resilience through contact with nature. Furthermore, our team investigates drivers of food waste, measures to address them, and policies aimed at reducing food waste.
