MACA Interest Groups
We conduct analysis on effective policies on climate.
The MIT Alumni for Climate Action group supports legislation establishing a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions goal by 2050 or earlier and strong climate leaders to accomplish net-zero goals and other important climate policies. Our position is described at a high-level in MACA's Roadmap for Responding to Climate Change, which is being used to promote net-zero climate policies.
We encourage MIT to lead on climate action
We encourage MIT to be a leading climate innovator among universities and research institutions through a plan for on-campus clean energy generation projects, energy neutral buildings, zero-emissions transportation on campus, and other ways to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions.

We support implementation of climate technologies.
The market must be employed as a driving force to accelerate the implementation and scaling of many existing solutions and the rapid development of next generation, cutting-edge technologies to achieve our climate goals.
We support just solutions to address the impacts of climate change.
Climate change is the result of emission of greenhouse gases from both developed and developing countries and disproportionately impacts young and disadvantaged people. Equitable solutions are needed to limit climate damages, protect the vulnerable, and preserve our planet for future generations.
