Climate leaders gather at Harvard to bring solutions back to their communities and organizations
Over 100 climate leaders, advocates, and learners gathered last month for the first Harvard Climate Forum. Organized by Harvard’s Professional and Lifelong Learning team and supported by the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability, this one-day forum brought together faculty from six Harvard schools, including HKS, to share ideas, resources, and expertise to work towards climate change solutions. Joe Aldy, a professor of the practice of public policy at HKS, was central to organizing the event. “When we think about the challenges of climate change, there’s a role for everybody,” Aldy says. “[W]e’re going to need to push action through every sector of our economies, exploit every potential opportunity through governments at the local and all the way to the international level, and think about ways we collaborate across those sectors, across businesses, as well as engaging the nonprofit and for-profit sectors to be constructive in their efforts.” |
