As climate change causes weather disasters to become more severe or reach new areas, much of our infrastructure will need to be redesigned for climate resilience.| MIT Climate Portal
Heating and cooling is the biggest driver of energy use in homes and commercial buildings. Technology and building design can help keep us comfortable while reducing the impact of that energy use on the climate.| MIT Climate Portal
Agriculture is likely to face severe impacts from climate change. At the same time, the production, storage, and transport of food contribute to climate change.| MIT Climate Portal
The electric grid is a network of power lines and other infrastructure that moves electricity from power plants to our homes and businesses—and its design affects our options for building a clean energy system.| MIT Climate Portal
Cities concentrate people into small areas for good reason, but this makes them major sources of greenhouse gases and uniquely vulnerable to climate risks.| MIT Climate Portal
Forests take in carbon from the air and store it in wood, plant matter, and under the soil. Restoring them is an important option for combating climate change.| MIT Climate Portal
