Big Questions: Studying Climate & the Environment at Harvard
Monday, Oct 05, 2026, 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Cambridge Queen’s Head
How fast will the climate change—and should we expect surprises? Why do societies act (or fail to act) on environmental problems? Who bears the costs of climate change and our responses to it?
Come hear Harvard faculty from different fields tackle some of the big questions in climate and the environment, then talk with them yourself! Faculty will be there specifically to meet students, share what excites them about their fields, and help you explore different ways to study climate at Harvard.
Meet faculty from Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS), Energy, Climate, and the Environment (ENCE), Environmental Science and Engineering (ESE), and Environmental Science and Public Policy (ESPP). For first-years and sophomores. No certainty about what you want to study required. Vegan sushi will be served!
