"Interest in climate change has soared recently in the United States, and we expect EPA's policies and programs to expand and evolve rapidly over the next five years," said Randall Freed, an ICF senior vice president and climate change expert. "With increased interest in controlling the emissions of greenhouse gases, ICF International is poised to help EPA tackle this global challenge by offering expertise in the deployment of clean technologies across all sources and sinks of these gases."
"U.S. involvement with international programs will become increasingly important, and we can offer lessons for domestic policy that we've learned through our project work for clients in Europe, Canada, and other countries that have developed climate change policies," said Diana Pape, an ICF vice president and expert in greenhouse gas mitigation.
