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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Researchers from six European countries worked with clean energy communities to explore how they engage citizens, create value and share learning.

The NBSI aims to understand the potential of nature-based solutions, and to support their sustainable implementation through the application of good evidence from science and practice.

Embedding food resilience in agendas such as climate, planning and health as well as addressing the overlap between income and food access could help London's complex and fragile food system better meet the needs of its growing population.

Our analysis outlines three distinct pathways to eradicating emissions from the Oxfordshire economy.

Our work helped to consolidate food systems foresight capability in Ghana and Uganda in order to strengthen transformation planning towards more sustainable and resilient food systems.

SENTINEL was an interdisciplinary research project which sought to address the challenge of achieving ‘zero hunger’ in sub-Saharan Africa, while reducing inequalities and conserving ecosystems.

The Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium (ITRC) created a unique set of simulation models and methodologies to enable long-term cross-sectoral planning of sustainable and resilient infrastructure systems.

iNumber is a four-year research collaboration between India and United Kingdom to help cities reduce their energy demand and improve their electricity and water services.

This programme created a framework for understanding technical, market and policy requirements for integrating renewables across a wide range of scales, resource types and contexts. 

M-Benefits created a method for companies to include the multiple benefits of energy efficiency in their investment assessment and decision-making.

Global Food Security Programme (GFS), the UK’s cross government programme on food security research, funded 13 collaborative research projects which produced new evidence and recommendations for policy and practice.

Our report quantified the UK food system as a foundation for further analyses, drawing together data sources, documents, research articles together with interviews with UK food governance stakeholders.

BIO-RED helped to improve understanding of which Brazilian forest and savanna are resisting climate extremes, the extent to which destruction is reversible, and the vulnerabilities of intact and modified vegetation to climate extremes.
