The Climate Project at MIT

Welcome to the Climate Project at MIT!

Beyond emissions numbers and net-zero commitments, our work to confront climate change must deliver outcomes that matter: reliable, affordable, and carbon-free energy, clean air and water, healthy ecosystems, and thriving communities on a regenerating planet.


But the challenges of energy and climate are immense, complex, and overlapping. Meeting them will require ambitious advances in fundamental science, modeling, social insights, policy, and finance to bring solutions to a scale that can be felt across both global systems and local communities. 


This is what MIT Climate Project was built to do. We invite you to join us.

Missions

The Climate Missions are MIT-wide problem-solving communities. Each mission addresses a broad domain where solutions are required for effective climate response and where a critical mass of excellent research capabilities exists at MIT.

Climate HQ

Climate HQ is an administrative, operational, and coordinating arm for the Climate Project, and provides shared services to the Climate Missions to help them achieve practical impact at scale.

Climate Portal

Whether you are new to climate change or ready for a deeper exploration, the MIT Climate Portal offers a virtual place to ground your knowledge and ask your questions of experts. It also highlights MIT’s latest climate change research and initiatives for action.
