We are creating proactive, integrated decision-support tools and services that empower frontline vulnerable communities to prepare for climate impacts and minimize losses. We integrate and deploy MIT strengths in climate science to understand future impacts and inform adaptation strategies.

By providing high-resolution climate projections for the next 30 years, we empower communities and governments with essential data to develop effective strategies and proactively adapt to regional climate change. Our main focus is on the future of agriculture, shelters, and water security in Southwestern Bangladesh.
Jameel-Observatory CREWSnet is a research program that consists of 8 research projects organized around 3 focus topical areas. We seek to make measurable and lasting impact through 3 mechanisms.
