Just Transitions
Researchers at Croatan Institute are modeling a variety of pathways to a future that transcends today's over-reliance on carbon-intensive fossil fuels. These efforts range from designing fossil-free investment portfolios to exploring the requirements for a more robust reinvestment ecosystem to support just transitions beyond extractive economies.
