MIT is creating a digital twin of the Earth to help model climate change
Associate Provost Richard Lester and TPP Director Noelle Selin discuss MIT’s Climate Grand Challenges. “To me, the Climate Grand Challenges effort really represents that we’re kind of at a frameshift when thinking about the climate problem,” says Selin. “A climate challenge is a whole of society challenge, and therefore it really has to be a whole of MIT challenge.” Lester hopes the CGC will “inspire a new generation of students to roll up their sleeves, put their shoulders to the wheel, and help us solve this problem.”
