Kate Champion worked for the Climate Impact Lab. She worked on the Lab’s forthcoming paper on inequality and climate change, performing analysis examining how the poorest people on Earth are often the most exposed to climate change and have the least resources to adapt.
In the fall of 2024, Champion will be pursuing a PhD in Economics at UC San Diego.
“As someone with a non-econ background, I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked as a pre-doc here at UChicago. After my time here I have a better understanding of the research process which I know will serve me in the long run. Having the opportunity to work with the fantastic researchers at the Climate Impact Lab confirmed for me that I made the right decision to transition into economics.”
