The Climate Project at MIT
Now Open: ATLAS RFP
The Agricultural Transformation for Land, Atmosphere, and Society (ATLAS) program — created in in collaboration with the MIT Health and Life Sciences Collaborative (MIT HEALS) and the Abdul Latif Jameel Water and Food Systems Lab (J-WAFS) — aims to catalyze transformative advances in agriculture that address the intertwined challenges of climate change, ecosystem enrichment, and human health.
Now Open: 2026 Deshpande Center Momentum Grants
The 2025 Momentum 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.
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.
