Bakar Climate Labs - Pilot Program

Climate change is a pervasive challenge in nearly every facet of our lives. From the food we eat to the buildings we live and work in to the vehicles we drive, the way we navigate the world impacts our environment, often in negative ways. But we are not powerless to act. Researchers at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are working to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and smooth our transition to a zero-carbon footprint. The challenge is to translate this work into scalable processes, products, and services. 

Located at the Bakar ClimatEnginuity Hub(link is external), our programming will serve as a nexus for excellence in climate and energy innovation and entrepreneurship, lowering the barriers to the translation of impactful discoveries into companies that can create scalable solutions for societal problems. BCH will mirror the life-science focused Bakar BioEnginuity Hub, and will build on the success of QB3, a multicampus UC institute focused on scientific innovation and entrepreneurship.
