Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change

Channel | updated January 28, 2013

Understanding the complex, long-term changes in our land, air, and water requires breakthroughs in measurement, modeling, and prediction. Responding to these changes requires innovative policies that comprehend agriculture, energy needs, trade and finance — along with the political and communications savvy to organize a genuinely global approach. The Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change is MIT's response to these research, analysis, and public education challenges. Learn more
