Join the MIT Climate Colab for Crowds & Climate: From Ideas to Action, on how new technology-enabled, crowd-based approaches can help in developing creative new ideas and taking meaningful action on climate change. In this day-and-a-half program, we'll roll up our sleeves and work to figure out how to implement an innovative set of ideas to address climate change.

Building upon last year's successful conference, this year features keynote addresses by Anthony Leiserowitz of the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication and Jeremy Grantham of the Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment. Plenary panels feature leaders from business, government and the non-profit sector — including Lockheed Martin, Braemer Energy Ventures, the US EPA, Environmental Defense Fund, the City of Boston, and many others — who have launched climate change initiatives that are making a difference today. As a key part of this year's event, we'll identify specific actions that can be taken to move forward the innovative proposals that emerged from the 2014 Climate CoLab contests.
