Rebecca Lowy

Rebecca Lowy joined the Sabin Center as a Climate Law Fellow in October 2025. Her work focuses on the intersection of law, science, and policy in addressing climate change, including legal frameworks for carbon sequestration, the use of climate attribution science in litigation and policymaking, and domestic and international regulatory approaches to climate governance.

Rebecca earned her J.D., cum laude, from the University of Michigan Law School in 2023, where she also received a M.S. in Environmental Policy from the School for Environment and Sustainability. She holds an A.B. in Geosciences and Environmental Studies from Princeton University, where she graduated cum laude and was awarded the Senior Prize for Environmental Leadership.

Before joining the Sabin Center, Rebecca clerked for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York and practiced as an associate attorney at the Environmental Law and Policy Center. During law school, she served as a senior editor of the Michigan Law Review and was a student attorney in the Civil Rights Litigation Initiative. She also interned with both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of General Counsel and Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, as well as with the Natural Resources Defense Council. Prior to law school, Rebecca worked as a paralegal on PFAS litigation and, before that, as a geologist conducting environmental remediation across the New York City tristate area.
