Georgetown University

The Georgetown Climate Center serves as a resource to state, federal, and local policymakers who are working to develop policies to reduce greenhouse gas pollution and become more resilient to the effects of climate change, providing legal, policy, and process support to inform policy development. Georgetown is a leading institution in working with departments of transportation — in states and federally — to support the strong implementation of federal climate investment legislation. Georgetown has supported engagement with a subset of states, led by both Republicans and Democrats, interested in learning more about federal resources to support decarbonization.

The Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor at Georgetown University develops creative strategies and innovative policies to improve workers’ lives. Its New Social Compact project envisions, defines, and establishes the foundation for a new social contract that centers equity and inclusion in a post-neoliberal economy and society. The program’s June 2022 virtual global gathering will help lay the groundwork for large-scale, innovative structural change by focusing on pandemic-era worker activism and its intersections with health, housing, education, climate, care, race, and gender. The program has a diverse 46-member Advisory and Organizing Committee, and the conference will engage broad audiences across the globe.

The Global Political Economy Project is leading a reimagining of how we study and engage with global markets in a post-neoliberal era. Led by faculty at Georgetown University’s Mortara Center for International Studies, it is catalysing innovative, policy-relevant scholarship that explores the politics of global markets and inequality, race and social identities, sustainability, digital technologies, and geopolitical power dynamics. The project’s activities are based around three pillars — generating new ideas, building a new scholarly infrastructure, and engaging with policy practioners and the public — to build a more inclusive and sustainable version of globalization.
