This academic year, the Mittal Institute started a new program aimed at creating a cross-disciplinary cohort of key faculty and researchers whose work on climate change can be connected to South Asia. Over the last few weeks, 17 Harvard faculty have joined the Mittal Institute Climate Platform as new affiliates, greatly increasing the platform’s reach and expertise.
The affiliates have participated in the platform’s Climate Dialogues, a new set of gatherings featuring essential research on climate change in South Asia, with the goal of exchanging ideas and fostering collaboration.
Learn about the new climate platform affiliates below.
