neutral by 2026 By 2026 we will prioritize aggressive reductions of our campus energy use and strive to offset or neutralize any remaining greenhouse gas emissions by investing in off-campus projects such as renewable energy. Harvard will engage its researchers and industry climate leaders to identify and, where feasible, invest in projects that credibly reduce emissions while providing other positive benefits for human health, social equity, and ecosystem health. As part of our climate strategy, our facilities leaders and building managers aggressively pursue energy efficiency. Explore our progress How are we addressing Scope 3 emissions? We are continuing our work to track and quantify the fossil fuel emissions associated with our supply chain for purchased goods or services that support campus operations. Once the magnitude of these so-called Scope 3 emissions are better known for areas such as food, air travel, and commuting, the University will set targets fo

Numb and Nope obstruct vaccine efforts
Two imps want to trip up scientists as they chase pandemic solutions to save lives. Experts say we can’t let the imps win.
In a world turned upside down by the pandemic, we’re following a lot of different threads: vaccine news, data graphics, infection hot spots, distribution issues, you name it. But… how are we doing, really? It’s hard to get an accurate sense of how the pandemic is going.
At the close of 2020, says Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Dean Michelle Williams, we are at an inflection point. At a presentation called “COVID-19: Chasing Science to Save Lives,” she discussed the current opportunities and challenges brought by the vaccination campaigns that are just around the corner.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s been easy to forget that a number of longstanding deadly global health problems remain with us, in some cases exacerbated by the outbreak. More people are hungry this year than last; childhood vaccinations and polio eradication have taken a step back; and AIDS, malaria, and TB continue to kill millions annually. In early December, a group of public health leaders recommended an “action agenda” for the incoming Biden administration that looked at the damage done to global health programs by the pandemic and plotted a path forward. Authors of the plan, published in The Lancet, include Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Dean Michelle Williams, former Chan School Dean Barry Bloom, former Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala now a U.S. representative from Florida and experts from Georgetown University, Emory University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Gazette recently talked with Williams about what ne
A call for concerted action on COVID-19
A group of experts in health, education and the economy is calling for common, comprehensive action across U.S. states to fight COVID-19.
The COVID Collaborative, co-founded by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Dean Michelle Williams, issued a “Call to Action to Defeat COVID-19 and Promote National Recovery and Renewal” on December 10, 2020. A bipartisan group of governors representing 1 in 3 Americans expressed support for the recommendations outlined in the document.
The Call to Action highlights five key ways of responding to the pandemic, including testing, contact tracing, public health and social measures, vaccines and treatments, and common measures of success.
