Demand-side measures, such as urban energy management in households, are central to addressing global climate change. Examining and shaping energy consumption patterns is particularly salient in developing countries, where the bulk of urban growth is projected to occur, and which are often the most vulnerable to climate impacts. India, which is at the cusp of the largest urban transition predicted in history, is key to these discussions.

URI offers paid Greenspace and GreenSkills internships for Yale students, as well as for New Haven high school students and adults with a history that includes incarceration.
One of the most valuable contributions is your time. Most of URI's volunteer opportunities are with Greenspace in the summer. We host a few special workdays in the spring and fall.
Your contribution will support job training for teens and formerly incarcerated adults while improving our environment through tree planting and green space revitalization. Proceeds will provide internships, tools, compost, mulch and trees.
Thanks to a partnership with the City of New Haven's Parks, Recreation and Trees Department we are happy to plant street trees for New Haven residents with our GreenSkills crews.
