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.
Decarbonizing Energy and Industry
Preserving the Atmosphere, Land and Oceans
Empowering Frontline Community Action

Learn about the MIT faculty who are serving as the Mission Directors.
The task of these mission-focused communities is to help MIT identify and advance new solutions to tough problems that stand in the way of an effective global climate response. These advances will include “big bets”: potentially transformative developments focused on problems whose solution would have game-changing consequences for the world. The projects will work within integrated systems - technological, regulatory, industrial, financial, social, and political – to deliver public benefits at scale.
Each Mission has three main roles:
- Assessing national and global progress within its domain.
- Identifying critical gaps and bottlenecks constraining progress, as well as promising new pathways for effective action.
- Selecting, launching, and supporting projects to accelerate progress.
