Chris Malley is a Senior Research Fellow at the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) at the University of York, affiliated with the Environment and Geography department. His work bridges atmospheric science, public health, and climate policy with a focus on real-world implementation in developing economies.
His research centers on air pollution-climate interactions, specializing in short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) like black carbon and methane. He develops integrated assessment tools (notably LEAP-IBC) to quantify health and climate co-benefits of mitigation policies across Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Key areas include household energy transitions, agricultural emissions, urban air quality planning, and national policy development for countries including Thailand, Nigeria, Colombia, and Mongolia. His approach combines high-resolution emissions modeling, health impact assessment, and policy feasibility analysis to support evidence-based decision-making.
Recent publications reveal a methodological trend toward integrated air pollution-climate modeling with increasing emphasis on subnational implementation barriers, demographic factors in health burden projections, and economic feasibility of clean energy transitions. His work consistently targets policy-relevant outputs for national governments and international bodies.
Malley actively contributes to major research initiatives including ‘Supporting action and planning to reduce short-lived climate pollutants in Bogotá’ and the EU-funded ‘FOCI: non-CO₂ climate pollutants’ project. His grant portfolio demonstrates strong partnerships with international organizations like the European Commission and UN agencies, focusing on translating scientific analysis into actionable national planning documents.
As a core member of SEI York, he collaborates within an interdisciplinary team specializing in energy systems analysis, atmospheric chemistry, and sustainable development policy. The institute provides the methodological framework for his integrated assessment work while connecting scientific outputs to global policy processes like the Climate and Clean Air Coalition.
