The MIT Sustainability Summit is an annual student-run event that has grown to include hundreds of attendees ranging from professionals, academics and students. Past Summits have featured discussions with thought leaders and expert practitioners alike.

Last year's theme, "Systems Change," focused on addressing the persistent "collaboration gap" and accelerating cross-sectoral climate action through the lens of System Dynamics. The aim was to inspire motivated actors from business, policy, and academia to come together, identify key leverage points, remove obstacles, and drive solutions for planetary well-being.

This year, the summit will focus on adaptation and climate resilience

As one of the world’s preeminent research universities, MIT and its five schools --science, engineering, architecture and planning, humanities and social science, and management--are in a unique position to bring business and societal leaders together with academic researchers and students to address challenges in sustainability.

We invite you to join us at the 2025 MIT Sustainability Summit as we explore the adaptation pathways.
