The James E. Rogers Energy Access Project at Duke
Developing solutions to energy policy and market challenges in emerging economies
How Can Energy Transitions Balance Growth, Decarbonization, and Human Development?
Catch up on a recent high-level discussion at the Nest Climate Campus during New York Climate Week, which explored the challenges faced by low- and middle-income countries in addressing urgent climate adaptation and development needs while pursuing clean energy transitions that prioritize human flourishing.
Workstreams
Powering Productivity and Healthy Communities
Communities without access to sufficient, reliable energy face reduced economic and human capital development opportunities. We are demonstrating how differences in energy access translate into benefits for households and societies, discovering how households adapt to outages, and how power costs and efficiency programs impact productivity.
About the James E. Rogers Energy Access Project at Duke
The James E. Rogers Energy Access Project at Duke focuses on building knowledge and networks to inform key decision-making related to energy poverty. It brings world-class researchers to bear on the highest priority questions of the day and supports policy-makers, project developers, investors, civil society, and impacted communities in driving energy system development and transformation.
