HBS Climate Symposium 2023

Harvard Business School 117 Western Ave, Boston

The Climate Symposium is one of the largest student-run conferences on campus, and we intend to make this 2023 Symposium the most extensive, most interactive, and most international Symposium yet.

The theme for the 2023 Climate Symposium is "Adopting Climate Solutions at Scale." We will explore not only the existing climate solutions but also the crucial aspects of capital and policy deployment required to accelerate their implementation on a global scale.

Full description of keynotes and panel topics can be viewed on the website with speaker details added closer to the date.

Our Artificial Nature: Perspectives on Design for an Era of Environmental Change

Piper Auditorium, Gund Hall, GSD, 42 Quincy St., Cambridge

Carson Chan, curator of the concurrent MoMA exhibition Emerging Ecologies: Architecture and the Rise of Environmentalism, will engage GSD faculty in a conversation about past design speculations, current research, and practice futures.

The conversation will address the cultural, social, and technological processes emerging within design discourse that aim to address ecological imperatives. The event will call attention to the idea that design practice is the creation of the artificial, as well as the imagination of our constructed environment in a moment when our designed and natural worlds are fused. Both the event and exhibition aim to situate current research within a history of design for environmental change, framing new paradigms for environmental design.

This event is part of ArtsThursdays, a university-wide initiative supported by Harvard University Committee on the Arts (HUCA).
