Climate change is already disrupting – in many cases severely – lives and livelihoods around the world.
In the United States, elected and appointed officials tasked with navigating climate impacts and the clean energy transition must weigh competing priorities, complex logistical questions, political differences, and a host of other factors as they seek to set durable laws and policies in the face of climate change.
Speakers and panelists at Harvard Climate Action Week will discuss the legal and policy tools available to leaders at all levels of government and business who are grappling with the challenges and opportunities presented by climate change and the clean energy transition. Sessions will also explore what can be expected from policymakers as the outcome of the 2024 election shapes U.S. federal leadership.
