Climate Change Solutions Fund Awards $1 Million to Seven Research Projects
Harvard’s Climate Change Solutions Fund awarded about $1 million in grants to scholars from across the University, funding seven projects dedicated to understanding and mitigating climate change.
The fund, started by University President Drew G. Faust in 2014, has so far distributed around $3 million to projects on climate change policy, solar energy technology, and threats to the environment, among other sustainability-related topics.
Projects funded this year include a “bionic leaf” that could reduce carbon dioxide emissions, a work of fiction imagining what a fossil fuel-free future could look like, and a proposal to use Harvard’s campus as a “living laboratory” to improve sustainability in dining halls.
