Climate Policy Center

The MIT Climate Policy Center has identified several policy focal areas to emphasize initially; they are each described below. But MIT researchers also study many other topics related to climate policy; contact us at ClimatePolicyCenter@mit.edu if you are a policymaker interested in more information about the climate impact of policy ideas under consideration.
