He taught at the College of William and Mary and directed its Program in Environmental Science and Policy (2001-2009), and he held a joint appointment in Latin American Studies and Sociology and co-directed the Environmental Studies program at Tulane University (1991-2001).

Currently, Professor Roberts focuses on international climate justice, climate finance, and policy. Through various projects and research analyses, he works on broad questiosn of how development needs to be rethought in the face of climate change. (Projects include documenting how foreign aid from the Global North to Global South is being transformed  by the green energy/climate adaptation, in addition to analyzing Latin America’s emerging role in the international climate negotiations).

Professor Roberts founded the Climate and Development Lab in the Spring of 2011 to focus on issues of climate inequity within global politics. He brought a team of fellows with him to COP16 in Cancun, Mexico and COP17 in Durban, South Africa. In addition to providing the most recent information on Professor Robert’s research, this blog also serves as one of the main outlets for the Climate and Development Lab’s reports and analyses.
