Climate change has caused widespread disruption to the environmental, social, and economic conditions societies need to thrive. The risks of climate change compound in places where communities are already vulnerable. Exposure to risk and its consequences varies by where people live and work. At MIT, the Resilient Communities Lab (RCL) works with communities domestically and internationally to improve mitigation and adaptation outcomes by co-designing collaborative solutions.
“Climate change is not just a challenge, but an opportunity to transform society in a way that enables and revitalizes communities.”
— Dr. Janelle Knox-Hayes
