Developed in partnership with the MIT Office of Digital Learning, MIT Office of Communications,and MIT Center for Collective Intelligence, two MIT alums & Climate CoLab winners, Rajesh Kasturirangan and Dave Damm-Luhr, recently launched a new open online experiment aimed at turning climate knowledge to action called ClimateX.Based on their winning proposal in Climate CoLab's MIT Alumni contest, the team is protyping a peer-to-peer platform for climate education and action, through an 8 week pilot project. The initiative, which began earlier this month, aims to provide a forum for the MIT community & alumni, and learners from around the world to connect and drive climate action ideas forward. In beta, the platform features:· A weekly webinar series, led by MIT grad students and alums, on a range of climate topics;· A simple digital community where you can form groups and discuss; and· A challenge platform where you can propose, develop and get feedback on real solutions -- local or global -- to specific climate issues. Join the ClimateX platform to learn more and get updates, and connect withthe greater MIT community & alumni in advancing climate action.
