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.

We develop analytics and evidence to help governments, multi-laterals and investors mobilise finance to advance the sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Our research advances understanding of complex risks and brings together scientists, modellers, economists and practitioners to advance practical solutions to build resilience.

The WWA initiative is a group of international climate scientists which provides robust assessments on the role of climate change in extreme weather events, quickly but thoroughly.

How do we promote a healthier diet which has a lower environmental impact and also enhances local and national enterprise? By starting with the meal and working backwards through the supply chain to the grower.

Using both both analytics and evidence, we support policy, investment and financial solutions, and help to set the right enabling environment for investment.

The energy and mobility theme of UKERC Phase 4 projects focuses on where transport decarbonisation efforts are generating acute technological and governance challenges for the energy system, especially at the local level.

GoZero aims to provide a robust evidence base to support the multi-level governance of SME decarbonisation across the four UK nations.

REACH is a global research programme to improve water security for the poor by delivering world-class science that transforms policy and practice.

By tackling existing weaknesses and lack of capabilities in the current generation of integrated assessment models, the NAVIGATE project provides new insights into how long-term climate goals can translate into short-term policy action.

CREDS is a multi-institution research centre looking at how reductions in energy use can support the transition to a net-zero society, and move to an energy system that is secure, affordable and sustainable.

The LEAP programme aims to understand the health, environmental, social and economic effects of meat and dairy production and consumption to provide evidence and tools for decision-makers to promote healthy and sustainable diets.

The AFN Network+ aims to create plausible pathways, and practical, open science, to achieve net-zero through the agrifood system by 2050.

Working with Leicestershire County Council, we are exploring how to improve nutrient flows through food waste management, green waste and bio-solids.

This project combines the latest food system understanding with foresight capability to provide policy and practice guidance on food system resilience.

Three international long-term monitoring networks which monitor the biomass and dynamics of Amazonian, African and SE Asian forests.

Energy Superhub Oxford (ESO) aims to eliminate 10,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year – the equivalent of taking 2,000 cars off the road.

Project LEO was an ambitious, wide-ranging and innovative energy trial, seeking to accelerate the UK’s transition to a zero-carbon energy system.

DeViz uses thermal imaging as a behaviour change tool to inform, empower, and engage site supervisors to help them achieve zero defects in their buildings.

This project explored the contributions of environmental social science and humanities (ESSH) to environmental solutions, and how to overcome barriers to the involvement of the ESSH community in natural science research.
