Agricultural Land and Climate Policy Graduate Student Researcher
Application deadline: April 27

BFI and the Center for Law, Energy, and the Environment (CLEE) are evaluating how an accelerated switch to regenerative agriculture and increased carbon sequestration can be financed, and the connection between those strategies and land use policy and land ownership. For example, can we use a mechanism similar to a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) to improve financing? What are other mechanisms?

We are seeking a summer graduate student researcher with knowledge of climate change policy, farming, land use policy, finance, or other related fields. This person will be responsible for helping to prepare for and note taking during an invitation-only virtual roundtable of experts to be held in June 2020. Following the roundtable, the GSR will conduct additional research and help compile conclusions and policy recommendations into a 5–10 page white paper for public dissemination. The student will critically support the efficacy of the roundtable and subsequent white paper by seeking and evaluating feedback from attendees and non-attendees in key constituencies.
