The Climate Project at MIT
Our goal is to become one of the world’s most prolific and collaborative sources of technological, behavioral, and policy solutions for the global climate challenge. We'll know we have succeeded only if, in 10 years, we have changed the expected trajectory of global climate outcomes for the better.

At the MIT Sloan School of Management, we’re driving real-world climate impact through cutting‑edge research, entrepreneurial innovation, and evidence‑based policy leadership.

Catherine Wolfram

Professor, Applied Economics, MIT Sloan, and Former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Climate and Energy Economics at the U.S. Treasury
Hope isn’t naïve optimism—the belief that some technological breakthrough will save us. It's the belief that what we do matters. That by working together, we can create a better world.
John Sterman

Jay W. Forrester Professor of Management
One of the gaps the MIT Climate Policy Center seeks to fill is being the connective tissue across all of these different centers to understand what the policy implications are and to understand how everything fits together.
Christopher Knittel
