Its scholars continue to employ social science methods to analyze critical issues concerning pollution control, energy policy, land and water use, hazardous waste, climate change, biodiversity and the environmental challenges of developing countries. The company s subsidiary, RFF Press, supports the mission of RFF by publishing book-length works that present a broad range of approaches to the study of natural resources and the environment. Its authors and editors include RFF staff, researchers from the academic and policy communities and journalists. Audiences for RFF publications include participants in the policymaking process, including scholars, the media, advocacy groups, professionals in business and government and the general public.
