Using a unique modeling strategy, MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change researchers find several possible patterns of energy and technology development under a specified long-term climate target or economic outcome.
Researchers at the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change project that without a globally coordinated effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the planet’s average surface temperature will reach 2.8°C.
The MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative's journalism fellowship supported reporters Tristan Baurick, Dustin Bleizeffer, Nora Hertel, Melba Newsome, and Alex Schwartz in producing climate change features of local importance for news outlets around the U.S.
A new study shows how U.S. climate policies can be designed to cut carbon emissions without increasing economic inequality, reducing the GDP, or impeding economic growth. The work was led by the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change.
