Rao’s research examines the relationship between energy systems, human development and climate change, including studying equity in energy transitions,and the impacts of climate change and its mitigation on society. His research methods include household energy modeling, econometrics, input-output and policy analysis.
Rao is a contributing author to the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report. He received a European Research Council (ERC) Starting grant for a project entitled Decent Living Energy, which identified the energy and emissions thresholds needed to provide decent living standards for all.
