I'm really excited about the work we're doing on #carboncapture in the @MITCSConsortium. This video is a great summary of that work and the fantastic people involved.

This is some innovative work led by Prof. Caitlin Mueller on reusable concrete structural components. It could really change the way we think about circularity in buildings.

I'm glad that our president is listening to the @MIT community's desire to take bold action on climate change. Having her support puts more wind in our sails!

Electrification of buildings is a priority, but it likely will not be practical in many instances. This solution of capturing CO2 from boilers and then using the CO2 to make concrete blocks is a good one that I hope expands to other areas.

We recently hosted a study group at the @MITCSConsortium on Voluntary Carbon Markets with an expert panel from @MITSloan, @MITdusp, and @BBVA. @SydneySroka, @AneilT, and I wrote a topic brief highlighting issues discussed by the panel: https://t.co/humxD0iI1p

You can hear directly from @MITCSConsortium members about some of the great work they are doing with the @MIT community to rapidly scale climate and sustainability solutions.

The MCSC’s 2022 symposium showcased the benefits of academia-industry collaboration over #climate and #sustainability topics. An emergent theme was that the best way for various sectors to reach sustainability goals is to work together: https://t.co/5N4Lbf6M2e

I'm proud to be a part of a community with this strong, female leadership. @MIT https://t.co/LaEqnSWl6g via @RadioBoston

This increased transparency should be used for better interpretation of ESG ratings. We're in the early days of ESG measurement and their insights can help us improve the systems and our use of them for impact investing.

They've done some in-depth analyses of ESG ratings and show that there is indeed quite a bit of noise, but that does not mean that the ratings are worthless. Rather, there should be more transparency around measurement and weighting approaches.

I really liked this article "The Signal in the Noise" about the challenges and opportunities in the #ESG rating space by @berg_florian, @jasonjjay, Julian Kölbel, & @RobertoRigobon from the @MITSloanSusty. They have some great insights. 🧵 https://t.co/rVCQ1RcM0H

MCSC member companies are committed to working with each other and @MIT to meet #sustainability goals while deploying #global solutions to the #ClimateCrisis. This #collaboration between #industry and #academia is what makes the MCSC, the MCSC. #WhyMCSC

This resonates with me because of what I hear from students: they want to work for companies that are doing work that matters. Companies should be prepared to compete for top talent by demonstrating positive impact and commitment to climate goals.

While we're well aware of the impacts of materials and energy used in vehicles, this important study from @MIT researchers highlights the impacts of computing for autonomous vehicles. This is the iceberg below the surface that we need to monitor. https://t.co/X4avoNOKMe

While it is heartening to see companies investing millions of dollars in regenerative ag, there are significant challenges getting farmers to change their practices. Another case of behavior change and finance being critical to enabling mitigation.

In my experience, behavior change is more important than technological solutions to address most sustainability challenges. Central Ohio is using behavioral science principles to increase food composting rates. We need more of this.

Happy #Festivus! May your holiday be filled with airing of grievances and feats of strength as you celebrate around the Festivus pole. Enjoy the other holidays at this time of year as well.

I'm very curious to see what impact this will have on production of goods that are imported to the EU; it's an implicit price on carbon. I also can't help but wonder how the GHG accounting will work. Could be a game-changer.

This is my new favorite ad. I have no idea who the company is or what they do, but based on my observations a 1000-slide presentation from consultants (or academics for that matter) is not too far of a stretch. Hilarious and scary at the same time.
