Sustainability Themes, such as Climate + Energy, cut across all specializations—and give students and partners a chance to dig deeper in a particular area of impact and interest. Explore how our teaching, research and engagement is making an impact to tackle these global challenges.

Changing the game in planetary carbon emissions

Climate change, one of the greatest challenges facing society, requires large-scale implementation of both mitigation and adaptation strategies. Transforming the energy system through supply and demand changes is critical to address this challenge, as well as other threats from our largely fossil-based economy.

Our community responds to this challenge by working to provide energy solutions for stable climate systems. That’s the SEAS approach.
