This report by CRC, Abt, and the National Weather Service profiles public perception of dangerous heat events & recommends actionable messaging.

Abt experts co-authored a study explaining how stakeholders—including individual citizens—can better estimate PFAS blood levels from water concentrations.

Abt supported EPA’s Guide to Action Interconnection and Net Metering, which describes state policies that can help utility customers invest in clean energy.  

Abt helped design the ZAPPA tool so New York City could evaluate the potential impacts of proposed environmental polices, down to the neighborhood level.
