Come say hi! Throughout October, Harvard's waste experts will be popping up at different campus spots to talk trash with you. Learn about what should go in each bin and how to handle your unique items like batteries and e-waste. Hear more about what the university is doing to reduce waste, and how you can be part of the solution!
The Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability and the Harvard Alumni Association invite you to the next installment of Harvard Voices on Climate Change, a virtual series showcasing Harvard faculty and fellows on different dimensions of the climate challenge.
This session will spotlight two cornerstones of U.S. climate policy: the EPA’s Endangerment Finding, which underpins federal authority to regulate greenhouse gases, and the Department of Energy’s Climate Science Report, which provides essential assessments of climate risks and impacts. Harvard faculty experts will examine the legal, scientific, and economic foundations of these measures and their current implications for climate action and regulation.
Speakers
--Jody Freeman, Archibald Cox Professor of Law; Director, Environmental and Energy Law Program, Harvard Law School
--Peter Huybers, Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences; Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering
--James Hammitt, Professor of Economics and Decision Sciences, Center for Risk Analysis, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Student groups interested in applying to the Salata Institute's Climate Collaboration Grant Program should have members attend one or both of the Climate Connection Events that will be hosted as part of the program. Student leaders will have the opportunity to present speed pitches about their organization, with the purpose of sparking connection and inspiring collaboration with others in the room. The presentations will be followed by a networking hour. Dinner will be provided.

We are excited to announce that our 2025 lecturer will be Sarah Hobbie, Regents Professor and Distinguished McKnight University Professor of Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior at the University of Minnesota.
This annual distinguished lecture series focuses on forests and climate change, and is named after the gift that has, since 1962, brought scholars working on forests to Harvard. The goal of the Bullard Lectures is to celebrate and amplify ecologists who have significantly advanced our understanding of the terrestrial biosphere while also serving society through application of their science and mentoring.
The Lectures are supported by the Charles Bullard endowment and are closely associated with Harvard’s long-running Bullard Fellowship, a distinguished scholar-in-residence program for forest research. Hosted in partnership with the Harvard University Center for the Environment at the Salata Institute.

In this Energy Policy Seminar, Elaine Buckberg, Senior Fellow at Harvard University’s Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability and the former Chief Economist of General Motors, will give a talk entitled "The Uncomfortable Truths of Public EV Charging." Buckberg will explore the realities of charging electric vehicles in public, from empirical work on highway charging data, to how much time it takes to charge in cities without a home charger.
RSVP required. A Harvard University ID is required for in-person attendance; all are welcome to attend via Zoom.
