Song, Kaihui

Kai­hui Song a Post­doc­tor­al Schol­ar at RAEL, affil­i­at­ed with Cool­Cli­mate Net­work. Her research devel­ops mod­els and datasets for sub­na­tion­al cli­mate actions, includ­ing emis­sion inven­to­ries at the city and com­mu­ni­ty lev­el and emis­sions embed­ded in inter­na­tion­al and domes­tic sup­ply chains. Her work ana­lyzes car­bon inequal­i­ty, local cli­mate impacts, urban sus­tain­abil­i­ty, and explores oppor­tu­ni­ties for renew­able ener­gy in just low-car­bon tran­si­tion to support effec­tive and equi­table cli­mate poli­cies. She is also a co-chair of the Envi­ron­men­tal­ly-Extend­ed Input-Out­put (EEIO) sec­tion in the Inter­na­tion­al Soci­ety of Indus­tri­al Ecol­o­gy (ISIE). She serves on the Edi­to­r­i­al Board for the jour­nals of STOTEN and Car­bon Foot­prints. Pri­or to join­ing UC Berke­ley, Kai­hui worked at Data-Dri­ven Envi­ro­Lab and interned at AGCI and WWF. She obtained her Ph.D. in Geo­graph­i­cal Sci­ences at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Mary­land, Col­lege Park (2022).

Jones, Christopher M.

Chris Jones is lead devel­op­er at the Cool­Cli­mate Net­work, an applied research con­sor­tium at UC Berkeley’s Renew­able and Appro­pri­ate Ener­gy Lab­o­ra­to­ry that sup­ports the devel­op­ment of com­pre­hen­sive, social­ly inte­grat­ed car­bon foot­print man­age­ment tools and pro­grams for indi­vid­u­als, schools, busi­ness­es and com­mu­ni­ties. His pri­ma­ry research inter­ests inter­sect the fields of indus­tri­al ecol­o­gy, envi­ron­men­tal psy­chol­o­gy, and cli­mate change pol­i­cy. This research informs, and is informed by, pro­grams and prod­ucts that seek to encour­age more sus­tain­able behav­ior. Jones runs the Cool­Cal­i­for­nia Chal­lenge, a com­pe­ti­tion between Cal­i­for­nia cities to reduce house­hold car­bon foot­prints. He is co-chair of the Behav­ior, Ener­gy and Cli­mate Change Con­fer­ence.
