Erin Czelusniak

I work with our Policy and Government Relations team to highlight Woodwell Climate research in our federal advocacy for meaningful policy development and implementation. I also assist the Risk team with the Just Access project, which provides tailored risk assessments to under-resourced local communities around the world.

I have extensive experience in both international and domestic environmental justice and policy research. Before joining Woodwell Climate, I analyzed the injustices of stormwater infrastructure in post-apartheid South Africa, interned in the office of Massachusetts Representative Congressman Richard Neil, and evaluated the equity and integrity of international environmental peacebuilding projects and toolkits. Through all my work, I have placed a strong emphasis on the right to a healthy environment, especially the right to clean water. I graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in Justice and Peace Studies, a minor in Science, Technology, and International Affairs, and a concentration in Energy and Environment.

I grew up in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, where I first developed my love of reading, hiking, and community, whether that be family, friends, or neighbors.
