Raising Our Ambitions for a Just Climate Future
Virtual Event
Join us for an interdisciplinary panel of Harvard Radcliffe Institute Fellows to explore how leading researchers and policymakers are collaborating to raise our ambitions for climate action and climate justice while effecting change.
Overview

Climate change and the energy transition are driving unprecedented shifts in the economy and society. These shifts present challenges and opportunities for leaders in government, the corporate world, academia, hard-to-abate sectors, and beyond.

Harvard Climate Action Week sessions will explore how different actors view leadership under climate change, and how they are grappling with the challenges presented by aggressive greenhouse gas mitigation, adaptation, energy transitions, and impacts on public health. Participants will hear from leaders in sessions exploring U.S.-China climate cooperation, tribal, city, and state leadership, Gen Z approaches to climate change, and more.
