MIT Solve: Coastal Communities Workshop

Through research, programs, design education, and partnerships, the Sasaki Foundation takes an interdisciplinary approach to tackling global challenges in our local context of Greater Boston and beyond. The Sasaki Foundation supports inclusive approaches that bridge the physical environment, community and social needs, policies and governance, and economic forces to shape equitable communities.

<A HREF="https://solve.mit.edu/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">MIT Solve</A> is a marketplace connecting innovators with resources to solve Global Challenges. MIT Solve's Coastal Communities challenge asks the provocative question: how can coastal communities mitigate and adapt to climate change while developing and prospering?
