MIT's new Decarbonization Working Group will support efforts to explore game-changing and evolving technologies with the potential to move campuses like MIT away from carbon emissions-based energy systems.

MIT Professor Robert van der Hilst is stepping down as head of the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences after more than a decade in that role.

A new grant program for MIT faculty and graduate students, called the Fast Forward Faculty Fund (F^4 for short), has awarded six grants to enable new work on climate change while strengthening collaboration on climate across the Institute.

MIT Energy Initiative Director of Education Antje Danielson discusses new initiatives in MITEI’s education program and how they are preparing students to take an active role in climate action.

Under its "Fast Forward" climate action plan, which was announced in May 2021, MIT has set a goal of eliminating direct emissions from its campus by 2050. An important near-term milestone will be achieving net-zero emissions by 2026.

Anne White, professor and head of the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT, is a leader in plasma physics and has produced path-breaking fusion research. She's passionate about changing the world with nuclear applications.

In a combined in-person and virtual event on Monday, members of the three working groups established last year under MIT's "Fast Forward" climate action plan reported on the work they've been doing to meet the plan's goals, including reaching zero direct carbon emissions by 2026.
