The Community Health and Environmental Policy program focuses on topics such as infrastructure, climate change, science and technology including commercial space policy, industrial policy, energy transitions, disaster response and resilience, community design, community health promotion, migration and population dynamics, transportation, and broader environmental quality.
We also focus on policies influenced by the natural and built environment, technology, and community organizations and institutions that affect well-being.
The program includes the RAND Center for Climate and Energy Futures, the RAND Center on Housing and Homelessness, and a shared RAND effort called the RAND Economics and National Security Initiative.
