The Salata Institute Launches Initiative to Reduce Global Methane Emissions
The Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability at Harvard University launched today a major research and outreach initiative to reduce global methane emissions. The initiative seeks meaningful and sustained progress in global methane emissions reductions through research and effective engagement with government policymakers – and with key stakeholders in business, nongovernmental organizations, and international institutions. Methane emissions abatement can, in the near term, significantly reduce the magnitude of climate change and its impacts, giving the world time to “bend the curve” on CO2 emissions, conduct research on carbon removal, and, more generally, to implement longer-term strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

New Paper: How an international agreement on methane emissions can pave the way for enhanced global cooperation on climate change
Catherine Wolfram, an External Collaborator of the Salata Institute’s methane initiative, has completed a policy brief, with colleagues, addressing relationships among methane-emissions reduction, trade policy, and broader climate-change policy. The paper was released by the Peterson Institute for International Economics. The paper is copyrighted by PIIE, and the Salata Institute is grateful for permission from PIIE to reference it here.

Confronting Climate Change in South Asia: The Harvard Mittal Institute Launches a New Climate Change Platform Initiative
Climate change is affecting South Asia in devastating ways. The region is experiencing some of the world’s worst climate impacts, from drought and floods to dangerous heat waves.
Last month, the Harvard Mittal Institute convened leading experts, policymakers, Harvard faculty, and practitioners in New Delhi, India to confront those challenges and launch a new Climate Change Platform Initiative focused on South Asia.
