2019 annual report
I M P A C T S
It has been three years since I arrived at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, and the School community continues to inspire me. Each day I am impressed by the talent and range of expertise of our faculty and students,
the deep commitment of our staff, and the truly global impact of our network of alumni
working in every corner of the planet.
I am also continually grateful for the engagement and generosity of our network of
supporters, which allows us to pursue the aspirations laid out in our strategic plan.
This year, the thoughtfulness and dedication of our alumni and friends resulted in one of
the most exciting and successful years in the School’s history, with important investments
in many of our new initiatives. Your generosity supports the Yale Environmental Dialogue,
an ambitious F&ES initiative that has already infused fresh thinking and innovative ideas
into the national conversation about sustainability — and even published a new book,
“A Better Planet: Forty Big Ideas for a Sustainable Future.” It will fund a new visiting
professorship in climate change that will bring to campus outside perspectives on this
critical issue. It will enable us to host a major conference this fall on environmental
justice, a vastly important field that touches on every issue we address. It will also help
us strengthen our commitment to career development for our students and alumni, and
strategic communications for the School.
All of these initiatives are helping us build on our existing strengths while at
the same time allowing us to grow and evolve in the face of increasingly complex
environmental challenges.
I am excited by the momentum we are building, and I appreciate the many ways you
are helping us to achieve these goals.

2019 ANNUAL REPORT 3
Can marshland keep up with rising seas?One of the consequences of sea level
rise in many coastal locations will be the
inland migration of salt marsh. That is, of
course, if these marshes are able to move
fast enough to keep up with encroaching
waters. In an ongoing research project on
the Connecticut shoreline, senior lecturer
and research scientist Shimon Anisfeld
is studying marshland migration using
a novel methodology that analyzes
for microscopic fossils in the layers of
sediment, which enables scientists to
identify marsh migration that might not be
evident through aerial photography. And,
working with Craig Brodersen, associate
professor of plant physiological ecology at
F&ES, Anisfeld is also evaluating how tree
damage caused by major storms influences
this wetland migration.
Seminal climate research continues to resonateTwenty-five years ago, a team of researchers
led by Robert Mendelsohn, the Edwin
Weyerhaeuser Davis Professor of Forest
Policy and Professor of Economics at F&ES,
undertook the first major assessment
of how climate change will likely affect
agricultural production in the future.
The influential paper, which was co-
authored by Nobel Prize-winning Yale
economist William Nordhaus, provided
early evidence that the potential impacts
of climate change would vary from region
to region, with warmer regions paying
the biggest price. Those findings continue
to influence climate research: The paper
earned the 2019 Publication of Enduring
Quality Award from the Association of
Environmental and Resource Economists.
The nexus of energy and povertyGenerating the energy needed to lift
billions out of poverty doesn’t have
to mean a steep rise in global carbon
emissions. In an ongoing research
project, Narasimha Rao has found
that improving living standards across
the developing world can be done in
a sustainable way. Rao, an assistant
professor of energy systems analysis at
F&ES, leads the innovative Decent Living
Energy project, which gathers data on
the energy required for essentials like
access to clean water and healthy food,
powering household appliances, public
transportation, and education.

Benign by designUnderstanding the ins and outs of
chemistry can be a challenge for anyone,
and members of the U.S. Congress are
no exception. The House Science, Space,
and Technology Subcommittee on
Research and Technology recently held a
hearing, “Benign by Design: Innovations
in Sustainable Chemistry,” in
preparation for a vote on the bipartisan
Sustainable Chemistry Research and
Development Act. The group convened
a panel of expert witnesses for the
hearing, including Julie Zimmerman,
professor of green engineering and
deputy director of the Center for Green
Chemistry and Green Engineering at
Yale, who stressed the importance of
raising awareness, proper training, and
research funding for sustainability in the
chemical industry.
Professors Michelle Bell, Mark Bradford, and Karen Seto this year appeared on Clarivate Analytics annual list of “highly cited researchers,” which ranks
the top 1 percent of total citations in their fields

The untold costs of road construction in AfricaLike many developing countries, Uganda
is investing in large infrastructure
projects. However, road construction
projects have substantial social and
scological implications for local
communities. Working with the
Wildlife Conservation Society and the
Uganda National Roads Authority,
Paul Hatanga ’20 M.E.M. is studying
these impacts through the use of camera
traps, mapping and GIS tools, and
interviews with government, contractors
and local citizens — producing results
that he hopes will promote responsible
investment in infrastructure that
protects biodiversity.
The future of water in the HimalayasBhutan, one of the few carbon-
negative countries in the world,
is so environmentally conscious,
land conservation is written into its
constitution. But the small Himalayan
nation, which neighbors world powers
India and China, remains at risk from
climate change due in large part to its
reliance on hydropower. Emma Johnson
’20 M.E.M. spent a month traveling
across Bhutan this summer as a student
fellow with The Pulitzer Center, reporting
on how the rural country is developing
clean energy solutions in the face of rising
temperatures and erratic weather.
Paul Hatanga stands alongside a new road in western Uganda this summer.
Yale-Myers Forest provides a laboratory for Nathalie Sommer’s research on “animal personality,” an animal’s consistent behavior across contexts.
Getting to know an insect’s ‘personality’One’s behavior has a profound effect
on everything around them — and the
same rings true for animals, argues Ph.D.
candidate Nathalie Sommer ’19 M.E.Sc.
Her research focuses on “animal personality”
— an animal’s consistent behavior across
contexts — and how variation of individual
personalities within a population can
mediate ecological processes, particularly
predator-prey interactions and food
web structure. Working with Oswald
Schmitz, Oastler Professor of Population
and Community Ecology, Sommer is
conducting field experiments, behavioral
and physiological measurements, and
ecological stoichiometry on grasshopper and
spider interactions at Yale-Myers Forest.
Her research was recently honored by the
National Science Foundation Graduate
Research Fellowship Program.
36 F&ES students participated in the 2018 United Nations Climate
Change Conference, COP24, in Katowice, Poland
87F&ES students have completed fellowships
through the Environmental Defense Fund’s Climate
Corps Fellow program since 2008, including eight in
summer 2019
7F&ES students completed summer
internships in Rwanda in summer 2019, where F&ES has built new partnerships
in the past year
Energy efficient housing: To retrofit or to rebuild?The quantity and carbon intensity of
household energy consumption makes
up 20 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas
emissions. Strategies to reduce these
emissions include improved housing
and energy conversions, and changes
to consumer behavior. Peter Berrill,
a doctoral student at F&ES who studies
the lifecycle impacts of energy production
and consumption, recently examined
the factors and trends driving household
energy decisions. His research will help
answer critical questions, including
whether future mitigation efforts should
focus more on retrofitting current
housing stocks or replacing older stock
with new housing.

Three alumni — Dawn Lippert ’06 B.A., ’07 M.E.M.,
Shyla Raghav ’09 M.E.M., and Adrien Salazar ’17 M.E.M.
— were named to the
2019 Grist 50, a list of young leaders
doing ‘game-changing’ sustainability work
75%of F&ES students
are currently working with an
alumni mentor
Keeping up with the trees in our citiesUrban natural areas are essential to
ecosystem resiliency and local public
health, and are proven to help combat
climate change. These areas, however, are
often underutilized and municipalities
lack the resources for proper management,
according to a landmark report produced
by F&ES, The Trust for Public Land, and
The Natural Areas Conservancy, a leading
New York non-profit founded by
Sarah Charlop-Powers ’09 M.E.M. and
Bram Gunther ’91 M.E.M. The report,
co-authored by Ph.D. candidate Clara
Pregitzer and professor Mark Bradford,
a professor of soils and ecosystem ecology
at F&ES, is the first phase of a project that
will now bring teams from 10 U.S. cities
together to develop a path toward more
efficient management.
Infusing sustainability principles in the beverage industryAs senior manager of environmental
sustainability for Brown-Forman, Suzette
Carty ’04 M.E.M. is helping to drive change
in one of the nation’s largest spirits and wine
companies. She has helped broker a wind
power-purchase agreement that will help the
company meet its greenhouse gas targets,
and has worked to engage employees on
issues related to sustainability and recycling.
This year, she was named a First Mover
Fellow by the Aspen Institute for Business
& Society Program, which honors leaders
who create environmental and social change
within their companies. She’s also shared
her time and expertise with F&ES over
the past several years, supporting the Yale
Environmental Sustainability Summit and
and mentoring students.
Financing conservation in Appalachia The Nature Conservancy (TNC) recently
unveiled a conservation initiative that uses
private investment to protect more than
253,000 acres of Appalachian forest. The
initiative protects a massive store of carbon
dioxide and preserves a critical climate
migration corridor for species that will have
to shift to cooler climates. The architect of the
plan was Tom Hodgman ’09 M.F./M.B.A., a
senior director in TNC’s NatureVest division.
“This is a way to take our work to new scale,”
Hodgman says. “All across the Conservancy,
we’ve done great forest conservation projects.
We’ve done great carbon projects for the
voluntary and California markets. We’ve built
those muscles and can demonstrate that we
know how to put these deals together. The
Cumberland Forest Project pulls all of this
work together into a project you can finance;
it pulls this work into an investment.”
Working with Microsoft’s “AI for Good” program,
SilviaTerra, a company founded by Zach Parisa ’09 M.F.S., has
created the first high-resolution inventory for all U.S. forests
Taking stock of our natural resourcesWhile many experts study how the
harnessing of natural resources impacts the
environment, others are more concerned
with just how many of these natural
resources Earth has left. Nedal Nassar
’11 M.E.Sc., ’14 M.Phil., ’15 Ph.D. leads
the Materials Flow Analysis Section at the
Natural Minerals Information Center of
the U.S. Geological Survey, which analyzes
the stocks and flows of non-fuel mineral
commodities to help policymakers and
federal agencies understand the potential
implications for economic development and
national security. Nassar recently received
the Presidential Early Career Award for
Scientists and Engineers, the highest honor
the U.S. government gives to promising
scientists and engineers.

URI and partners keep New Haven greenThe Elm City lives up to its nickname, with
an abundance of street trees thanks to the
country’s first public tree-planting program
developed in the early 20th century. The
Urban Resources Initiative (URI) carries
on that legacy today, planting thousands
of trees and cleaning up greenspaces
across New Haven with help from the Yale
community and nearly 60 local community
groups. In 2011, URI formalized a
partnership with EMERGE, a program
that provides employment for formerly
incarcerated adults, making a meaningful
difference in the community. Of the 274
participants enrolled in EMERGE since its
inception, 75 percent of them have served
more than six years in prison. Only 14
percent of those participants have returned
to prison; 63 percent have gone on to
further employment or education.
Delivering Yale expertise to professionals worldwideTwo centers based at F&ES introduced
one-year online certificate programs
that allow emerging professionals in
countries across the world to access
Yale’s faculty, training materials,
and networks. In “Tropical Forest
Landscapes: Conservation, Restoration
and Sustainable Use,” developed by the
Environmental Leadership & Training
Initiative (ELTI), participants are learning
to design, implement, and monitor
effective forest conservation and restoration
initiatives. The second course, “Financing
and Deploying Clean Energy,” which was
developed by the Yale Center for Business
and the Environment, a collaboration with
the Yale School of Management, aims to
accelerate the uptake of clean energy by
building workforce capacity in the areas of
policy, finance, and technology.
A new online certificate program developed by the Environmental Leadership & Training Initiative brings Yale expertise to practitioners in 29 countries.
40new or ongoing

Classes combine for ‘land use dialogues’ across AfricaSixty local representatives from
agriculture, business, and government
participated in a weeklong Land Use
Dialogue (LUD) in Ifakara, Tanzania,
hosted by The Forests Dialogue (TFD)
earlier this year. Bethany Linton ’19
M.E.Sc., Paul Hatanga ’20 M.E.M. and
Luca Guadagno ’21 M.E.Sc. worked
with local stakeholders to design
implementable and inclusive policy
and management plans that promote
efficient land use and development of
resources. TFD hosted three additional
LUD programs in Africa in the past
year (see map), and plans to host one
more in Uganda.

STRATEGIC PLAN
Building Momentum
Build on historic strengths through research, training, programs, and initiatives
Enhancing the National Dialogue
This year, the School launched a series of national
events through the Yale Environmental Dialogue
(YED), which aims to transform the
national discussion on environmental
policy. In February, the YED
convened more than 100 leaders
from across many sectors to
share their solutions to complex
environmental challenges.
The ideas that emerged are
featured in a new book, “A Better
Planet: 40 Big Ideas for a Sustainable
Future,” published by the Yale University Press.
More events will be held in cities across the U.S.,
including this fall in New York and Washington.
Develop areas of emerging strength
Commitment to Environmental Justice
Thanks to the generosity of Graciela Chichilnisky,
an F&ES fund has been established to support
the expansion of research, teaching, and outreach
in global environmental justice — including an
endowment for a conference to be held on campus
this fall. The fund honors Natasha Chichilnisky-
Heal, whose doctoral research at Yale focused on the
environmental justice issues related to natural resource
extraction in the developing world.
New Environmental Communications Center leverages strengths in research and public engagement

Opening Yale to the World
Two new online certificate programs enable global
professionals to benefit from Yale resources and
expertise. “Tropical Forest Landscapes: Conservation,
Restoration and Sustainable Use” allows participants
to design, implement, and monitor effective forest
conservation and restoration initiatives. “Financing
and Deploying Clean Energy” promotes the uptake
of clean energy by building workforce capacity in the
areas of policy, finance, and technology. Both programs
combine online training from Yale faculty and guest
experts from industry, peer feedback, and opportunities
for in-person training.
Build and maintain our leadership on issues of national and international importance
New Voices on Climate Change
Thanks to the generosity of Coleman Burke ’63,
the School will be able to address one of the most
critical challenges facing the planet: climate change.
The newly created Coleman P. Burke Visiting
Professorship in Climate Change will bring one
expert practitioner or scholar to campus for at least
a semester each year. The professorship will enable
the School to draw on the expertise of individuals
addressing the climate challenge across the world and
introduce new perspectives into the F&ES community.
Sent more than 30 F&ES students to COP24 in Katowice, Poland in 2018
Formalized a partnership with Rwanda for collaboration on education and research in environmental and sustainability issues

Create and support new interdisciplinary scholarship, teaching, and outreach
An Alaska Case Study
A new “Perspectives” course was developed to allow
students to dive into the complexity of a real-world
environmental challenge. The course, taught by F&ES
Professor Julie Zimmerman, will steer students through
the case of the Bristol Bay Pebble Mine in Alaska, where
a plan for a large-scale mining operation stands to
threaten the local watershed. Presented with a variety
of viewpoints from F&ES faculty and guest experts,
students will pull the case apart through open discussion,
creating a shared understanding of the importance of
interdisciplinary approaches in managing thorny issues.
Enhance the spirit of community at F&ES, and strengthen connections across the Yale campus
Organized and co-hosted campus-wide Yale Climate Day
Established OneF&ES, a group of staff and faculty tasked with developing programs and events that bring the F&ES community closer together
Hosted regional events, including F&ESinDC, which linked 100 F&ES students with alumni mentors and potential employers
Leveraging the F&ES Network
The School’s network of more than 5,000 living
alumni stays connected through regional events and
reunions, allowing individuals working across the
world to provide mentorship and career support to
fellow alumni and current F&ES students. Last year,
F&ES introduced another tool, Alumnifire, that
allows F&ES graduates to network with fellow alumni.
The online program already has 1,272 users in
43 countries. More than 100 connections have been
formed on the platform between people seeking and
offering everything from career advice to collaboration
on a work project, and seeking and finding employment
from 370 posted jobs.
Create reliable resources, including funding and space, to support existing and new work
Help us continue the momentum
Raised record amounts in new gifts and pledges, allowing the School to address priorities articulated in the Strategic Plan, including an emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration, environmental justice, and strategic communications
Expanded physical space to support centers, programs, and research fellows
Some of our goals in the near future:
Develop resources for new programs and professorships: • urban systems and environmental justice • environmental data • environmental leadership • climate change mitigation, communication, and policy
Increase scholarship support for master’s students of all backgrounds
Raise funds to create new professorships and boost faculty recruitment for inclusive excellence
Expand the doctoral program to broaden our research impact and scholarly influence
Promoting Community and Inclusion
An expanded F&ES Office of Community and Inclusion
has developed new programming and events promoting
conversations that honor diverse perspectives and promote
an inclusive culture and further enmeshed these principles
in the orientation process for all incoming students. In
the spring, Assistant Dean Thomas Easley debuted a
podcast series, Heartwood, which explores issues at the
intersection of diversity and the environment.
Diversify our faculty, student body, and staff to better address the complex challenges of the future
Refined recruitment and hiring processes, such as a “target of opportunity” search for faculty, and increased diversity of staff, including in positions of leadership
Added regular trainings — led by the School’s new Office of Community and Inclusion — on diversity, implicit bias, and cultural competence
