Commentary: Climate change solutions must involve the global economy

Boston Business Journal

MITEI Director William H. Green writes that to solve the climate problem, the entire global economy needs to change, in an op-ed for the Boston Business Journal. "We at MIT are searching for real climate solutions that the public will adopt, and that merit the huge investments necessary for wide deployment," says Green. "By working collaboratively to solve these complex issues we will successfully address the greatest threat facing humanity today."
