The Climate Project at MIT
Now Open: 2026 Deshpande Center Momentum Grants
These grants — as a joint initiative between the MIT Deshpande Center for Technological Innovation, the MIT Health and Life Sciences Collaborative (MIT HEALS), and the MIT Climate Project — support research and translation to accelerate promising technologies toward real-world impact.
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.
