Climate Research
ECI's climate research focuses on climate prediction, detection and attribution, as well as climate risk assessment and modelling of climate impacts. ECI hosts UKCIP (the UK Climate Impacts Programme), which promotes and enables adaptation in government and business.
Global Climate Science
The Global Climate Science programme looks at the attribution of climate change, climate model uncertainties, and the carbon cycle.
Led by Myles Allen.
Impacts and Adaptation
The Impacts and Adaption work focuses on climate impacts on flooding risks and infrastructure systems, as well as adaptation strategies both in the the UK and globally.
Led by Jim Hall.
Mitigation
The Mitigation research investigates how to reduce energy demand and decarbonise the UK energy infrastructure.
Led by Nick Eyre.
