Ian Siadak

Ian Siadak is helping Sightline with research on climate and energy policy, specifically carbon pricing. He is a life-long resident of Seattle and has spent many years working on environmental and workers' rights projects in the area, as well as nationally. Since attending the COP16 international climate negotiations in 2010, Ian has focused more on national and state policy to address climate change, and is particularly enamored of carbon taxes. Although he spends a majority of his days thinking about the fascinating details of climate policy, he also finds time to explore the mountains and waterways of the Pacific Northwest (he is a self-described half mountain goat-half salmon), and on sunny days you might find him busking a local park with his guitar.
