EELP Involved in Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability Research

The newly launched Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability "serves as a fulcrum for collaboration across Harvard’s many areas of expertise." The Salata Institute is funding projects to directly address climate change and resilience. EELP is involved in three of the interdisciplinary, cross-school Clusters the Salata Institute supports. Jody Freeman is the principal investigator for the Corporate Net-Zero Targets Project and Jody and Richard Lazarus are involved with Strengthening Communities for the Clean Energy Transition and Reducing Global Methane Emissions. EELP will be part of the three teams and will provide our legal research and analyses to help develop implementable solutions and regulatory strategies.
