The Imperative of Justice: Climate Justice and Just Transition Events During IAP 2023

An image of the Earth.

A key theme of Fast Forward: MIT’s Climate Action Plan for the Decade is “the imperative of justice.” To showcase and unify work happening at MIT in the areas of climate justice and the just transition, the MIT Climate Nucleus is pleased to support a number of events and projects during the 2023 Independent Activities Period. These include:

Cool as a Cucumber: The food and climate nexus at MIT (three sessions; check listing for dates)

The Imperative of Justice: Incubating Community-Engaged and Indigenous-led Climate Justice Research Partnerships (January 18)

ESI's Second Climate Justice Workshop (January 19)

Retrofitting the Built Environment for Climate Justice (January 20) 

MIT AgeLab Aging & Equity Series featuring Dr. Latrica Best: Climate Change and Health: Age and Intergenerational Considerations (January 27) 

Addressing Climate Emergency for Small Islands States (January 30) 

Living Waters of the Charles (three sessions; check listing for dates)  

Mini Symposium: Environmental Justice & Energy Sustainability (January 31)

Of course, there are many more climate- and sustainability-related events happening at MIT during IAP. Check out the MIT Events Calendar to learn more.

We hope you’ll take part!

The MIT Climate Nucleus is the faculty-led, Institute-wide committee established under Fast Forward to manage the plan’s implementation.
