Organization
University of British Columbia, Zerriffi Research Group
Mission
The Zerriffi Research Group (ZRG) uses inter-disciplinary approaches to research problems at the intersection of technology, environment and development. We pursue research with the aim of tackling major issues in this area and developing evidence-based policy recommendations for all stakeholders (e.g. governments at all levels, households, private sector, donors, etc.). Many of our projects explore questions around tradeoffs and decisions that have to be made that balance short and long-term development and environmental goals. In addition to Hisham Zerriffi, the group is made up of graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and collaborators from UBC and beyond.
