The Environmental Markets Lab (emLab) at UCSB's Bren School of Environmental Science & Management is an interdisciplinary team of scientists that conducts cutting-edge, data-driven research on the power, limitations, and design of market-based approaches to tackle the world's most pressing environmental problems. In collaboration with implementing partners, emLab aims to better align environmental objectives and economic incentives in support of sustainable livelihoods and a resilient planet. Gifts to the Fund enhance emLab's cutting edge work on market-based approaches to environmental problems through funding for research programs and activities, training for students and early career professionals, enabling open and reproducible science, and supporting scientific communications and collaborations.
