Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
The challenges of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss are, at their root, driven by the world’s growing demand for energy. Solving them will take more than any single discipline can offer. A degree in Energy, Climate, and the Environment prepares students to be part of that solution, whether their path leads to inventing low-carbon technologies, shaping the policies and markets that drive decarbonization, protecting ecosystems and public health from climate impacts, or reimagining how humanity relates to the planet through the arts, ethics, and culture. Because ENCE spans the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the FAS Divisions of Arts & Humanities, Social Science, and Science, students build deep expertise in one specialized track while also gaining the literacy and collaborative skills to work fluently with people trained in the other fields. The Tracks within the ENCE program are:
- Science and Engineering for Sustainable Solutions
- Nature, Ethics, and the Human Imagination
- Markets, Politics, and Societies
- Climate and Biodiversity
