Are you interested in connected with other HBS MBA students dedicated to tackling climate change? Student Clubs are a vital part of the HBS Community experience that support the school's mission to educate leaders who make a difference in the world. We spoke with leaders from environmentally focused clubs to learn about the history of the club, the impact and mission, and the types of programming that members can participate in.

Having been in Energy sector for the last eight years, I developed a deeply rooted belief in the power of dedicated individuals working together to effect systemic change. At HBS I took on a leadership position in the Energy & Environment club motivated by a desire to help others increase their impact in the fight against climate change, and to engage with a vibrant climate community. My Co-President, Ian Naccarella, took on the role because he is inspired by the technological innovation happening in the climate space, and curious about how we can bring them to market to drive down global emissions.

Our Mission


The mission of the E&E Club is to empower and support our members dive into the dynamic world of energy and climate technology. We explore renewable and traditional energy sources, energy efficiency, and innovative solutions to foster a sustainable energy transition. Our focus also extends to corporate transitions in carbon management, understanding the environmental impacts of energy, and dissecting policies that will shape our future.

What We Aim to Achieve


Our goals for the E&E Club are centered on three main pillars:

1. Fostering a Supportive Community: Our aim is to cultivate a nurturing environment where our members can connect, share, and grow together.
2. Guiding Career Paths:
We are committed to helping members identify and seize career opportunities that make a tangible, sustainable impact.
3. Empowering Your Ideas:
Through active dialogue and initiatives, we aim to transform your ideas into impactful actions.

The E&E club is committed to working closely with the Sustainability and Food & Agriculture clubs to foster a collaborative climate community. Our efforts aim to complement each other by promoting flagship events, as well as co-lead significant gatherings like the Climate Symposium.
