Woodwell Climate Research Center (“Woodwell”) is an organization of researchers who work with a worldwide network of partners to understand and combat climate change. We bring together hands-on experience and 35 years of policy impact to find societal-scale solutions that can be put into immediate action. We work with decision-makers in both the public and private sectors to produce custom, granular flooding assessments, in addition to a suite of other climate hazards.
We were founded in 1985 as the Woods Hole Research Center by George Woodwell, a visionary ecologist. Today, we work around the globe, conducting research in collaboration with policymakers and decision-makers in more than 20 countries. We conduct research on a range of strategies to immediately address climate change, from carbon sequestration solutions using Earth’s forests and soils, to climate risk assessments that seek to shift public perception and corporate behavior. Our scientists are widely published in leading scientific journals, testify to lawmakers around the world, and are regularly quoted in media outlets from The New York Times to CBS Evening News. They have contributed to every Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and shared the 2007 Nobel Prize with the IPCC.
