Chris Malley joined SEI in September 2015 as a research associate focusing on the development of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition Supporting National Planning (CCAC SNAP) toolkit. The CCAC SNAP toolkit aims to demonstrate the socio-economic benefits achievable through national emission reductions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). Chris’s work involves the formulation of emission inventories, future scenarios, cost-benefit analysis, and training of toolkit users.
