Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth

Michael Greenstone explains how @UChiEnergy's pilot particulate emissions market in India delivered measurable results — shifting mindsets, building momentum, and helping reshape environmental policy across the country, turning research into real-world impact.

Congratulations, @AshirbadRaha🎊 We are grateful for your leadership at @EPIC_India!

#AI is good at weather forecasting. But can it predict freak weather events? Institute scholar @turbulentjet of @DSI_UChicago is testing the limits of AI-powered weather prediction: climate.uchicago.edu/news/ai-is-goo…

In a session at @aspenideas Climate, CSEi's founding faculty director @DKeithClimate of @GeoSci_UChicago joined a conversation on #CDR's potential, limitations, and role in the broader climate response. Watch: climate.uchicago.edu/uchicago-at-as…

LIVE at #GrowthAcademy25: Prof. Michael Greenstone (@UChiEnergy) discusses "The Economics of the Global Energy Challenge," emphasizing how nations must balance reliable energy, clean air, and climate goals—and the importance of pricing energy’s true costs. #EnergyEcon

It was a privilege for me to be on the panel moderated by @MichaelEWebber ! We talked about Nuclear, Geothermal, Battery, Energy Investments and Workforce - absolutely amazing time. With Jeff Navin @TerraPower, Avra van der Zee - Elemental Impact and Carl Hoiland -Zanskar.

In a session at @aspenideas Climate, our Energy Technologies Initiative's founding faculty director @YingShirleyMeng of @UChicagoPME discussed the most promising #EnergyTechnologies today—as well as the innovations that lie just over the horizon. Watch: climate.uchicago.edu/uchicago-at-as…

Energy Policy Institute at @UChicago Director makes the case that societies must balance 2 urgent goals: economic growth & climate risk, highlighting why climate action can’t come at the expense of human development & how @UChiEnergy is working to make that balancing act easier.

In a session at @aspenideas Climate, our Institute director Michael Greenstone joined Rama Variankaval, Jane Flegal, and Ali Zaidi, and moderator @eilperin for a conversation on #CarbonMarkets. Watch: climate.uchicago.edu/uchicago-at-as…

E&E reports global droughts since 2023 expose growing crop failures. @impact_lab finds 'Those with most to lose, lose most' - prosperous breadbaskets like the U.S. Midwest face severe impacts, while poorest regions also suffer substantially. impactlab.org/news-insights/…

Yesterday, we had the honor of kicking off @aspenideas Climate at @UChicago as the summit's official academic thought partner. 🎊 Watch the opening panel, featuring @GovWhitmer, @GovDunleavy and our Institute's director Michael Greenstone: climate.uchicago.edu/uchicago-at-as…

Most staple food crops are expected to experience substantial production losses due to climate change, even when mitigation measures to limit the impact of climate change are considered, according to a study in @Nature. go.nature.com/4lxo2zN

Last week, we launched a new Master of Science in Climate & Energy Policy with @HarrisPolicy ! This 1-year, full-time program—created in partnership with our Institute—combines climate science, data science, economics, and public policy. Learn more: bit.ly/uchicagomscep

Enjoyed Cape Town last month at the @DegreesNGO Forum 2025. I had the pleasure of joining @hollyjeanbuck and @MutisoRose for a plenary session on how sunlight reflection methods (SRM) fit into the broader climate response toolbox. #DGF2025 youtu.be/jlUQl6YjIjc?si…

New analysis from @JPAL_SA breaks down key findings on the impact of the world’s first emissions market for particulate pollution from industries, launched in collaboration with @EPIC_India , @YaleEGC , and the Gujarat Pollution Control Board: climate.uchicago.edu/insights/emiss…

KCRG interviews Institute scholar Andrew Chien of @DSI_UChicago to explain the potential impacts of #DataCenter construction in Ceder Rapids, Iowa. Tune in: climate.uchicago.edu/news/college-p…

Institute scholar Andrew Chien says data centers can attract jobs & investments w/o ⬆️emissions: “I think the right way to deal with this is to build capacity with those clean energy resources to be prepared for the growth in data centers." via @wqad: bit.ly/44nLutn

The newly launched pilot of our India Summer Fellows Program is underway! Key highlights of their first week include introductions to @UChiDelhi, DPIC and @EPIC_India, learning about India’s climate policy and NDCs, and more. More on the program: climate.uchicago.edu/india-summer-f…

A study co-authored by EPIC scholar @Eyal_Frank finds that by 2050, average daily milk production could be reduced by 4% as a result of worsening heat stress. Learn more: climate.uchicago.edu/news/climate-c…

Extreme heat can reduce milk production by dairy cows and can cause lingering impacts on yield, according to new research in @ScienceAdvances that examined 12 years of data from Israeli dairy farms. scim.ag/3GmWkqn
