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.

HARVARD CLIMATE SYMPOSIUM: RISING TO THE CLIMATE CHALLENGE
Harvard Climate Action Week, May 8 – 12, is a celebration and acceleration of climate research, education, and engagement across Harvard University.
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.

The Salata Institute
The Salata Institute supports interdisciplinary research that leads to real-world action, including high-risk/high-reward projects by researchers already working in the climate area and new endeavors that make it easier for Harvard scholars, who have not worked on climate problems, to do so.
An Opportunity to Take Action
For students and alumni, the Salata Institute will serve as a gateway to information about ways to contribute to climate and sustainability efforts on campus and beyond.
