  • Empowering people to adapt on the frontlines of climate change
    A new platform will unite climate models, impact predictions, random control trial evaluations, and humanitarian services to bring cutting-edge tools to Bangladeshi communities.

MIT CGCS forms a better understanding of Earth’s climate while facilitating the prediction of climate change. We are an interdisciplinary bridge spanning the MIT School of Science & the MIT School of Engineering.
