MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change

The MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change is a research collaboration between MIT and other institutions that studies how human activities, especially burning fossil fuels, impact the Earth's climate, economy, and society. It aims to provide policymakers with scientific insights and data to make informed decisions on reducing climate change and transitioning to sustainable energy systems. The program combines expertise from disciplines like climate science, economics, and engineering to develop models and scenarios that inform effective policies for a resilient and sustainable future.
