Sustainable Building and Urban Future
Residential and commercial buildings account for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions, driven by essential activities like lighting, heating and cooling, cooking, and construction materials. A team at Harvard will examine cutting-edge material design, advanced sensors, and responsive grids to revolutionize the way we build, ultimately crafting smart, energy-efficient neighborhoods for a sustainable future.
The Harvard Solar Geoengineering Research Program
The Harvard Solar Geoengineering Research Program (SGRP) produces knowledge to help society decide whether—and if so, how—solar geoengineering should play a role in global efforts to manage the growing risks from climate change.
Accelerating EV Adoption
Widespread electric vehicle (EV) adoption is critical to confronting climate change – but a lack of sufficient public charging infrastructure is holding many potential EV drivers back.
