At New York Climate Week 2026, MIT connects with a global network
A cross-section of the MIT community convened discussions on topics ranging from data centers and super pollutants to agriculture and education.
Each year, Climate Week NYC unites over 100,000 individuals across more than 1,000 events in Manhattan and other New York boroughs. This year, MIT's presence was significant, with multiple appearances throughout the week. The MIT Climate Project, comprising several departments, labs, and initiatives, organized events to foster connections with global stakeholders.
Evelyn Wang, vice president for energy and climate, spoke at the opening ceremony about artificial intelligence and climate change. The MIT-led sessions addressed data center sustainability, tackling super pollutants, supply chain sustainability, climate communication, and industrial decarbonization. By engaging with this diverse network, MIT aims to enhance its climate solutions and contribute to a more sustainable future.
