Clusters comprise interdisciplinary, cross-School teams of researchers, whose varied expertise is required to address the complexity of the problems that they seek to solve. The problems are broad enough that their solutions represent significant progress in meeting the world’s climate challenge. Concept proposals due by April 1, 2024.
Methane-emissions abatement can, in the near term, significantly reduce the magnitude of climate change and its impacts. A COP28 panel hosted by Harvard explored current methane research and practice on technology, policy, and international cooperation, drawing in part on the Salata Institute Initiative to Reduce Global Methane Emissions.

New Harvard research in Science: Exposure to fine particulate air pollutants from coal-fired power plants (coal PM2.5) is associated with a risk of mortality more than double that of exposure to PM2.5 from other sources, according to a new study led by George Mason University, The University of Texas at Austin, and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
While experts from West Africa and South Asia wish to prioritize climate adaptation, Western finance overwhelmingly favors mitigation, they told a Harvard workshop hosted by two Salata Institute climate research clusters.
To unpack the intricacies of environmental injustice and learn how to become involved in this
fight, join us in this blog to learn from Dr. Fushcia-Ann Hoover, interdisciplinary researcher,
assistant professor, and Radcliffe-Salata Climate Justice Fellow, who has done lots of incredible
work in the field.
Coinciding with United Nations Climate Change Conference COP28 in Dubai, the Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute has just released a new policy brief grounded in the research of the Salata Institute Climate Research Cluster on Adaptation in South Asia.
