Union of Concerned Scientists

As the manager of UCS's Climate and Energy program in the western U.S., Erin Rogers works to bring relevant scientific and economic analysis to the policy decision-making table in support of developing, adopting, and implementing effective policies to reduce global warming pollution. Her expertise in political strategy and climate policy allow her to mobilize scientists and other academic leaders and analysts as well as grassroots constituents to influence some of the most important state and regional climate policy debates occurring today. She has focused on climate, energy, and vehicle policies throughout her five-year tenure at the Union of Concerned Scientists. 

Before coming to UCS, Ms. Rogers spent a decade as an advocate and lobbyist focused on environmental and social justice issues in Texas.

Ms. Rogers holds a master's degree in Public Administration from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard and a bachelor's degree from the Plan II Liberal Arts Honors program at the University of Texas at Austin.
