Claire Squire is a research associate at the UMD School of Public Policy Center for Global Sustainability. Her work focuses on energy transition and climate mitigation, particularly the land use-climate change-energy nexus and U.S. subnational policy. At CGS, she researches coal phaseout, expansion of biomass utilization, and sustainable development, particularly within an Indonesian context, impacts of subnational policy on the attainment of U.S. climate goals, and conducts integrated assessment modeling. Her prior work focused on understanding county-level barriers to siting of renewable energy, and strategies for overcoming local opposition to accelerate deployment. She holds a master's degree in public policy from the University of Maryland, and a bachelor's degree in environmental management from Indiana University.

Successfully addressing the climate crisis while achieving sustainable development goals will require carefully constructed strategies to enact rapid economic transitions to a cleaner economy—tailored to national circumstances and priorities. The Center for Global Sustainability has deep expertise in country-specific analytical and policy approaches across key sectors and in support of a 1.5°C-pathway.
