Rutgers Climate & Energy Institute

The Rutgers Climate and Energy Institute seeks to contribute to a resilient, equitable, and sustainable climate future. RCEI connects faculty, staff, and students through transformative climate change research, innovation, education, and outreach.

RCEI was most recently preceded by three institutes: the Rutgers Climate Institute (RCI); the Rutgers Energy Institute (REI); and the Institute of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (EOAS). The Rutgers Climate Institute was created in 2013 with its origins dating back to two climate-change related initiatives formed in 2006, one based in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences and the other based in the School of Arts and Sciences. The Rutgers Energy Institute was also formed in 2006. The Institute of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences was established in 2014.
