Energy Supply, Adaptation, Economic Modeling
Dr. Dougherty's work over the past 15 years has spanned a wide variety of energy and climate change issues, as well as strategies for adapting to climate change. In addition to supporting the state-level climate change efforts of the Center for Climate Strategies, he has worked throughout Asia, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East in support of national government agencies, multilateral organizations, development banks, and nonprofit groups. Regarding GHG mitigation, his work focuses on the analysis of technologies and policies in the electric and transport sectors, including the development of analytical tools to quantify GHG and criteria air pollutant emission reductions of electric resource supply options and alternative transportation technologies. Regarding adaptation to climate change, Dr. Dougherty has led coastal zone vulnerability assessments, assisted governments in the development of national adaptation strategies, formulated a multimillion dollar coastal adaptation project, and contributed to the development of methodological approaches, training programs, and software tools that are used throughout the world. Dr. Dougherty has been invited as a speaker or expert participant in meetings of the World Bank, U.S. Department of Energy, UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, and the UN Development and Environment Programs. He has also provided expert testimony in regulatory cases in the USA involving carbon adders, nuclear decommissioning, and power plant cooling options. Dr. Dougherty holds Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in civil engineering from Drexel University, and a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in regional planning. He has authored or co-authored more than 100 technical reports.

Whitman & Peterson: Climate Bill Should Top the Congress’ To-Do List
As Congress approaches the August recess, our economy, energy and environmental security needs still top the to-do list of the president and Congress. This summer the Center for Climate Strategies and the Clean and Safe Energy Coalition have outlined how Congress can put a national strategy in place that gets all three on the same page: by passing comprehensive national climate change and energy policy that reflects our best policy options for immediate action.
New Climate and Energy Policies Could Create 2.5 Million Jobs, Hold Down Energy Costs
July 22, 2010 -- New greenhouse gas emissions and energy policies at the Federal level could generate as many as 2.5 million new jobs and $134 billion in economic activity in the U.S. while keeping energy costs down, according to a new report from the Center for Climate Strategies, published with Johns Hopkins University.
Colorado legislature raises state RES, move seen creating jobs
A coalition of stakeholders who worked on the Colorado Climate Panel's were critical to the new legislation’s passage. Since investor-owned utilities supply 60% of Colorado’s electricity, this implements most of the Panel recommendation (adopted by the Governor) on renewable energy standards (RES).
