Armond Cohen is Executive Director of Clean Air Task Force, which he has led since its formation in 1996. In addition to leading CATF, Armond is directly involved in CATF research and advocacy on the topic of requirements to deeply decarbonize global energy systems. Prior to his work with CATF, Armond founded and led the Conservation Law Foundation’s Energy Project starting in 1983, focusing on energy efficiency, utility resource planning, and electric industry structure. Armond has published numerous articles on climate change, energy system transformation, and air pollution; he speaks, writes, and testifies frequently on these topics. He is a board member of the Nuclear Innovation Alliance and an honors graduate of Harvard Law School and Brown University.

“It's all part of the same kind of mindset of trying to live lighter on the planet. We all know that cities are much lower energy consumers per capita. That is to say, city dwellers use much less energy than other people because of the density of housing, the transport is easier...So densification of human development is a huge climate benefit, and making cities more attractive and livable is a critical part of the equation. If you look at universities' engineering programs, civil engineering, chemical, mechanical, and electrical, or you look at city planning departments around the world, and you open any catalog of any major university, within all those disciplines, there's going to be a major climate focus. It's like a unifying theme. So I'm seeing young people coming out of their training with a sense that their mission is within those areas, but there's no separating that in their minds from the need to control emissions on the planet and to get to a more livable climate. So, what I'm seeing is this massive amount of social energy and intellectual energy.”
