The Global Climate Policy Project
The Global Climate Policy Project (GCPP) unites Harvard and MIT, and partners around the world, to drive innovation in global climate policy. By fostering academic collaborations across climate science, economics, political science, law, and other areas, we generate ambitious new ideas and actionable policy proposals to address climate change.
About
The Global Climate Policy Project (GCPP) is a joint initiative between Harvard and MIT dedicated to identifying and advancing innovations in global climate policies and institutions. Existing frameworks, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement, have established an important foundation for climate action but are not sufficient to manage the risks of a changing climate. GCPP puts forward ideas and policy proposals that complement the UNFCCC and address critical gaps in trade, finance, security, and other areas.
By convening leading academics, policymakers, industry experts, and members of civil society, GCPP drives research-backed policy proposals that can shape the global dialogue and accelerate urgent climate action.
Innovations in policies and institutions will focus on:
- Climate finance
- Energy transition
- Adaptation
- Trade
- Geoengineering
- Carbon removal
Research and Innovation
We develop actionable, multi-disciplinary proposals that address gaps in global climate governance. Through academic collaborations across Harvard and MIT, GCPP explores how global policies on trade, finance, security, and other topics can help drive more ambitious climate action.
Policy Outreach
GCPP engages with government policymakers, officials from international institutions, industry leaders, and members of civil society to design policy proposals based on research and evidence.
Student and Alumni Engagement
Through multi-disciplinary coursework, student research fellowships, and alumni engagement, GCPP equips the next generation of climate leaders with the tools to shape global climate policy. We provide mentorship, internships, and other types of opportunities for students and professionals committed to climate action.
