Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources
Celina Scott-Buechler is a PhD student in Stanford’s Emmett Interdisciplinary Program for Environment and Resources (E-IPER), where she studies federal climate policy with a focus on carbon dioxide removal. Celina is especially interested in building strategies to quickly phase out dirty industries and to build new, worker- and community-driven climate infrastructure in their place. She is a Senior Resident Fellow for Climate Innovation at Data for Progress (DFP), a D.C.-based think tank dedicated to advancing progressive federal policymaking, and co-chair of the research consortium Ocean Visions' marine circular bioeconomy taskforce. In past lives, Celina worked as a legislative staffer for Senator Cory Booker, policy director for the Center for Environmental Peacebuilding, and on the board of directors of the Telluride Association, an education-democracy nonprofit. Celina graduated with her bachelor’s from Cornell University, where she also earned her master's in atmospheric science. Celina is jointly pursuing a JD at Stanford Law School.
