The Oxford-based Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery undertakes research to help halt and reverse the ongoing loss and degradation of nature and its biodiversity.

Sustain-a-bite aims to overcome these issues through innovative, sustainable, and minimal processing methods to create nutritious, tasty, and affordable plant-based foods, aligning with the EU Green Deal’s Farm2Fork Strategy.

EDOL collects and shares high resolution energy-related data from 2000 representative households. A smaller number of households will take part in experiments with new technologies, business models and policy interventions.

The BrightSpace consortium aims to design effective and sustainable strategies to allow EU agriculture to flourish in a safe and just operating space.

CATALYSE is an interdisciplinary consortium whose mission is to further develop and communicate the health impacts of climate change, and respond to the urgent need for solutions.

Based at the Oxford Martin School, the Agile Initiative aims to revolutionise how world-class interdisciplinary, high-impact research supports environmental policymaking.

The PRISMA project aims to advance integrated assessment models by focusing on distributional justice and efficiency, innovation and finance, climate impacts and land-use, and lifestyle change and circularity.

FOSTR (Fostering food system transformation by integrating heterogeneous perspectives in knowledge and innovation within the European Research Area) aims to build a foundation for a new Knowledge and Innovation (K&I) governance structure for Europe’s food system.

The CircEUlar project explores the dynamics and levers for societal transformation towards a net-zero emission circular economy.

The FoodCoST project brings together economic and environmental researchers at the frontier of food system modelling, and in collaboration with leading international organisations on the economics of food system transformation. 

Food Systems Transformation Group

The goal of this action research is to support regional African multi-actor food system transformation efforts through the development of, and dialogue around, a practical guide on ‘Quality Criteria and Evaluat

We work with financial institutions, Central Banks and regulators to develop data, scenarios and tools to map the two-way relationships between nature, the economy and finance.

The GRII project provides the next generation of analytics to model the impacts of climate change across systems and supply chains.

The Oxford Net Zero initiative draws on the University of Oxford’s world-leading expertise in climate science and policy, addressing the critical issue of how to reach global ‘net zero’ in time to halt global warming.

iDODDLE is investigating if the digitalisation of our daily lives helps or hinders efforts to tackle climate change.

FoSTr provides a country support facility for food systems foresight and scenario analysis. The country-led and multi-actor foresight process aims to assist national food systems transformation.

The Foresight4Food Initiative explores how foresight – a key tool for governments, business and civil society to better understand future risks and opportunities – and scenario analysis for the global food system could be improved.

ELEVATE explores the potential of existing and new forms of e-micromobility, identifying the people, places and circumstances where they will be most useful in order to reduce mobility-related energy demand and carbon emissions.

Clean Heat Streets (CHS) aims to install 150 heat pumps into the Rose Hill area of Oxford over a two year period, do so inclusively, fairly and without causing problems on the electricity distribution network.
