In the past 10 years, a drastic shift towards the use of less greenhouse gas intensive fuels for electricity generation has occurred in the United States. At the same time, the U.S. government, states, cities, and businesses began to pursue policies to address climate change. This dissertation advances three research topics. First, this dissertation summarizes how environmental health played a role in advancing U.S. climate policy in the Obama Administration from 2009 – 2016 and identifies additional environmental health literature that could provide evidence to support climate change policy in the future. Second, this dissertation reviews the public health and econometric literature monetizing the health benefits of shifting to lower carbo...
