In this presentation, Gund Institute Director of Policy Outreach Stephen Posner describes various pathways available for researchers to engage with and impact policy. He also shares insights from the practice of linking environmental research with policy decisions at multiple scales, from state legislatures, to the Executive Office of the President, to the United Nations.

Examples cover a range of topics, including ecosystem services, water security, governmental economic accounts, and what climate change means for the management of ocean resources.

In his role at the Gund, Stephen leads programs and develops strategic partnerships to connect Gund research with leaders in government, business, and NGOs - internationally, nationally, and in Vermont.
