About the MIT Climate Change Engagement Program
Developed at the MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative (ESI), the MIT Climate Change Engagement Program works to advance public understanding of climate change and its solutions across a variety of media.
Public acceptance of the reality and urgency of human-caused climate change is growing fast. Yet the large number of people who have a new or growing interest in the climate conversation — the “climate curious” — have few resources for self-directed learning that meet them at their current level of knowledge. The MIT Climate Change Engagement Program leverages the trusted expertise of MIT to fill this gap with engaging, nonpartisan, easy-to-understand, and scientifically grounded information.
The program also works with local news media to bring relevant climate stories to audiences who are disengaged from climate issues, seeking to both broaden and deepen the coalition of people ready to embrace large-scale climate solutions.
The program now resides in the MIT Office of the Vice President for Climate.
