We bring together researchers from across the University to answer one of the most pressing questions of our time: 'How will we choose to manage our planet for ourselves and future generations?'

We believe all research disciplines – from business to engineering, environment to humanities, information systems to health and social sciences – have a part to play. Our research focuses on 3 main areas: renewable energy, decarbonisation and waste management; climate change and health; and nature-based solutions.

I can think of few more pressing questions than how we will choose to manage our planet for ourselves and future generations.
