As a project coordinator for the Center for Research and Policy Making (CRPM), Zlatko Simonovski focuses on climate change research, advocating for best practices related to energy efficiency and sustainable energy policies. During his fellowship in the United States, Simonovski hopes to gain knowledge about best practices in the United States related to energy efficiency as well as mechanisms for improving responsible use of energy resources. Upon returning from the Community Solutions Program, Simonovski plans to increase the public dialogue on national energy efficiency legislation. He also aims to improve the level of commitment of state and local stakeholders regarding national and municipal energy portfolios.
