Our History

The MIT Climate Pathways Project (CPP) was established in 2019 at the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative (SI) and engaged more than 15,000 leaders in government, business, and civil society in its first five years with the help of colleagues from SI, Climate Interactive, UMass Lowell, and beyond. CPP built a new capability to engage elected officials, trade associations, and others in the policy ecosystem. This served as a proof-of-concept for broader engagement between MIT climate experts and leaders in climate policy. In 2024, MIT Sloan launched the MIT Climate Policy Center (CPC). Given complementary missions to advance evidence-based climate policy, CPP operations were moved to the CPC. CPP remains a joint effort between MIT CPC, SI, and Climate Interactive.
