Nathan Kauffman

Nathan learns, synthesizes, distills, and communicates — mostly about oil and gas methane pollution.

Background

Prior to joining RMI, Nathan worked for Climate Nexus, where, among other things, he compiled and authored the Hot News morning newsletter — once described as “The best morning news clips email, sent by a nonprofit climate change comms shop, in the English language, in the Western Hemisphere.” He was also a researcher at the DNC.

Prior to attending law school, Nathan did everything from lobbying to basic carpentry to volunteer recruitment for the Chesapeake Climate Action Network. He also sold the best tomatoes and sweet corn in the state of Indiana, and “world famous” mini donuts at Elkhart County 4-H Fair.
