Join the launch of the Winter issue of ReVista, “Agriculture and the Rural Environment”. This issue covers topics ranging from agribusiness to climate change to new alternative crops. It explores the challenges and accomplishments of agriculture in Latin America and the Caribbean today.
Claudia López Hernández, former Mayor of Bogotá and Harvard 2024 ALI Fellow, talks about her career, what it meant to be Bogota’s first female Mayor and the future of her country Colombia. This event is co-sponsored by the Harvard Colombian Student Society.
Join us for a historic moment as we celebrate MethaneSAT, a groundbreaking satellite that will track methane emissions on a global scale. Food and beverages will be served as we toast to MethaneSAT’s upcoming launch.
MethaneSAT is the result of a collaborative effort between the Environmental Defense Fund, space technology experts, and faculty and researchers at the Harvard Paulson School of Engineering & Applied Sciences and the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. The cutting-edge satellite will play a pivotal role in addressing one of the most pressing climate change challenges of our time – methane emissions. For the first time, MethaneSAT will provide corporations and governments around the world with both granular and global data on methane leaks.
All members of the Harvard community are welcome to join! Registration required.
Attend the Cross-Graduate School Symposium on Environmental Justice (Equity in Building Climate Resilience: Boston) event, hosted by student groups at Environmental Justice Student Organization at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH); Environmental Law Society at Harvard Law School (HLS).
Can personhood be granted to mountains, lakes, and rivers? What does it mean to be met by another species? How do we extend our notion of power to include all life forms? And what does a different kind of power look like and feel like? Wild Mercy is in our hands. Practices of attention in the field with compassion and grace deepen our kinship with life, allowing us to touch something deeper than hope. Great Salt Lake offers us a reflection into our own nature: Are we shrinking or expanding?
Speaker: Terry Tempest Williams, HDS Writer-in-Residence

Hear from Steven C. Wofsy, Professor of Atmospheric and Environmental Chemistry in the John A. Paulsen School of Engineering and Applied Science at Harvard University. He has degrees in Chemistry from University of Chicago (BS, 1966) and Harvard (Ph.D., 1971). His scientific work spans the broad range of processes affecting the chemistry of the atmosphere, including measurements and inverse modeling of regional and global emissions of carbon dioxide and methane from ground based, aircraft, and remote sensing measurements. His studies aim to understand underlying causes for change in atmospheric composition, in order to mitigate human impacts and to help provide scientific information for societal decisions. He is the science lead for the MethaneSAT (satellite) and MethaneAIR (aircraft) imaging spectrometers to measure methane enhancements and determine emissions from sources worldwide. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and recipient of the Macelwane Award and the Revelle Medal of the American Geophysical Union, and NASA’s Distinguished Public Service Medal.
Please register to join us on March 7th from 5:30-8pm for an interdisciplinary climate & health networking session and dinner. The event is the second in a three-part series sponsored by the Salata Institute. Each has a specific focus for guided discussion, and the topic for this event is Translation of Research into Policy. We have a panel of three incredible speakers lined up, who will share their insights on this topic from the vantages of academia, nonprofit organizations, government, and industry. The 45-minute panel discussion will be followed by a dinner and networking session for all attendees. The panel will have a virtual option for those who cannot attend the event in person.
