Location: Boston / Cambridge, MA 02138
The Corporate Net-Zero Emission Targets Project, with support from the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability, is seeking Research Assistants (RAs). In this project, faculty and researchers at the Client Place are evaluating voluntary corporate goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For these Research Assistant (RA) positions, the tasks will focus on collecting data from firms’ sustainability reports, which will include tracking and reviewing reports, analyzing their carbon commitment statements, and converting this information into structured data.
Project Description
This project examines the surge of corporate net-zero and greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets to determine their effectiveness in achieving real emissions reductions, a critical step for meeting U.S. climate commitments. Led by a cross-disciplinary team supported by the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability at University, the research analyses how corporate pledges influence behaviour, decision-making, and environmental outcomes. The team is investigating the actions corporations take in response to net-zero commitments, comparing the behaviour of companies with and without targets, and identifying gaps in implementation. By exploring the legal, regulatory, and business drivers behind these commitments, the project aims to uncover challenges, unintended consequences, and opportunities to strengthen corporate strategies and regulatory frameworks, ultimately driving meaningful emissions reductions.
