Postponed: MIT Climate Action Symposium: MIT Climate Initiatives and the Role of Research Universities

Due to concerns over the potential for large gatherings to lead to the transmission of the COVID-19 virus, MIT is postponing the remaining two Climate Action Symposia. The symposia will be rescheduled; the new dates will be announced on climatesymposia.mit.edu once they have been determined. We appreciate your interest in the symposia and look forward to seeing you at the events when they take place. Please contact climatesymposia@mit.edu with any questions.

Postponed: new date TBD.

2019-2020 MIT Climate Action Symposia Series

The fifth of MIT's six Climate Action Symposia, MIT Climate Initiatives and the Role of Research Universities, will be held on Thursday, April 2, 2020. Topics will include:

• initiatives being developed by MIT to reduce carbon emissions;
• how you can get involved; and
• breakout sessions with MIT faculty, researchers, and staff.

The Climate Action Symposia series aims to advance our community’s understanding and expand our capacity to generate solutions for the urgent global challenge of climate change. Over the 2019-2020 academic year, the six symposia examine the current state of climate science and policy, as well as pathways for decarbonization of the global economy. We will also look at how universities can and should contribute solutions, including MIT’s efforts under our Plan for Action on Climate Change.

Schedule, speaker bios, livestream, and more will be available at climatesymposia.mit.edu.
