He is the author, co-author, or editor of various publications including the leading law school textbook on International Environmental Law & Policy (with Hunter & Salzman) (6 ed.2021). With Nobel Laureate Dr. Mario Molina, Durwood co-chaired the Assessment of Climate and Development Benefits of Efficient and Climate-Friendly Cooling (2020), authored under the guidance of a Steering Committee of leading scholars and government, think tank, and independent experts; co-authored a chapter on super pollutants, focused on HFCs, with Professor V. Ramanathan at Scripps, UC San Diego, for the university textbook Bending the Curve: Climate Change Solutions (2019); and co-chaired with Dr. Molina and Professor Ramanathan the Well Under 2 Degrees Celsius: Fast Action Policies to Protect People and the Planet from Extreme Climate Change report, authored by a team of 33 prominent scientists and policy experts (2017).
In 2022 Zaelke was recognized by Washingtonian Magazine as one of the 16 most influential people for Climate and Environment, among Washington, DC’s 500 Most Influential People.
