The solutions are all around us
The Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability serves as a fulcrum for collaboration across Harvard’s many areas of expertise, pursuing practical, real-world solutions that address all aspects of the climate crisis.





Climate change is the single biggest threat facing humanity.
The challenges it presents are vast and interconnected.
The solutions must be too.
Climate Research Clusters
The new Climate Research Clusters program will support ambitious, university-wide endeavors that produce useful and practical solutions to pressing climate problems. Research clusters will represent interdisciplinary efforts to take on climate problems that are narrow enough to ensure concrete solutions, but broad enough to ensure significant progress in meeting the world’s climate challenge.
