The Clean Air Task Force is seeking to collaborate with students to conduct research on sustainable development practices in emerging economies.


The goal of this project is to identify and analyze effective strategies that can be implemented to promote environmental sustainability while supporting economic growth in these regions.


We welcome multidisciplinary students to contribute and explore the intersection of environmental policies, socio-economic factors, and geopolitical dynamics. The project aims to provide actionable insights that can guide policymakers and stakeholders in fostering sustainable development.



Key tasks include:


- Conducting a literature review on sustainable development practices in emerging economies.


- Analyzing case studies of successful and unsuccessful sustainable development initiatives.


- Identifying key challenges and opportunities for implementing sustainable practices.


- Recommending strategies for promoting sustainability in the context of economic growth.

Deliverables

The project will culminate in a comprehensive research report that includes:


- A detailed literature review on sustainable development in emerging economies.


- Case study analyses highlighting key lessons learned.


- A list of identified challenges and opportunities for sustainable development.


- Strategic recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders.



Additionally, students will prepare a presentation summarizing their findings and recommendations, which will be shared with the Clean Air Task Force.
