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.
