Jonathan Lewis

About

Jonathan Lewis is the Director of Transportation Decarbonization for Clean Air Task Force, where he works with companies, governments, and citizen groups on state, national, and international initiatives to address climate change. Much of Jonathan’s work focuses on fuels: he leads CATF’s effort to bring about a fully decarbonized global transportation sector by midcentury, and he works with the Hydrogen Program to promote the development of climate-compatible fuels. Jonathan previously led CATF’s program to redirect the production and use of biofuels and biomass-based power so that they contribute to—rather than undermine—decarbonization and climate stability, and he coordinated CATF’s effort to accelerate the deployment of climate-friendly energy technologies by facilitating partnerships between cutting-edge energy companies and institutions in China and the United States.

Prior to joining CATF’s legal team in 2001, Jonathan worked at the George Washington University Law School’s Center on Sustainability and Regional Growth; the Ocean Law Project, in Washington, D.C.; The Nature Conservancy, in Arlington, Virginia; and the City of Boston Environment Department’s Conservation Commission. Jonathan graduated from Tufts University and The George Washington University Law School.
