Climate Crossroads: Debating Energy’s Next Frontier

Climate Crossroads: Debating Energy’s Next Frontier brings to Harvard University leading voices confronting the intertwined challenges of climate change and the global energy transition. Guided by the conviction that durable progress is forged through rigorous, intellectually honest dialogue, the series convenes thinkers and doers from across the political spectrum and from government, business, civil society, and academia. By openly presenting competing ideas—including those that provoke vigorous disagreement—the Institute seeks to cultivate deeper understanding, identify pragmatic pathways, and inspire actionable collaboration.
