Climate Policy Center

Connecting Research and Policy 

The MIT Climate Policy Center serves as MIT's "front door" for local, state, federal, and international  climate policymakers. Our mission is to serve as a trusted, non-partisan resource for policymakers who seek to advance evidence-based climate policy in the next decade. 

Our Center's strategy has three key components:

• Heightening awareness of MIT’s climate expertise, tools, and scenario analysis capabilities within the global policy community;
• Convening leaders to exchange knowledge and ideas around climate policy, as well as offering information and making policy recommendations;

• Analyzing the climate impact of policy proposals and translating the implications of academic research into formats helpful to policymakers.
