All ECI Projects

WEFWEB explores the challenges of understanding and identifying the dynamic, interlinked interdependencies across the physical, social and political, ecological and digital nexus networks at multiple, nested scales and temporally.

ECI led a consortium to quantify the impacts of potential pathways to net-zero that could maximise emissions reduction and increase sequestration in land use sectors, while ensuring the resilience of land uses to climate warming.

A step by step guidebook for the monitoring and evaluation of ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) to inform project developers, implementers and the international climate community on how to assess and report the benefits of EbA.

This project’s primary aim is to help SMEs and intermediaries gain a better understanding of sustainable growth and its implications for their businesses.

Working closely with local planners and other stakeholders in Bicester and beyond, ECI and partners Forest Research tested a range of practical tools for mapping and assessing GI, and develop clear step-by-step guidance for users.

The SAFE project explores how forest biodiversity and ecosystem function vary across Borneo, while the BALI consortium looks at the interactions between biodiversity and biogeochemical functioning.

A NERC-funded internship allowed two ECI researchers to help the Ecosystems Knowledge Network update and expand their Tool Assessor and connect stakeholders with the website. 

IN-BEE explored the intangible or multiple benefits of energy efficiency, including social, economic and environmental benefits delivered by efficiency improvements.

A selection of completed Energy projects.

ECOLIMITS was a consortium looking at ecosystem services, degradation and links to poverty in the cocoa farm and forest landscape in Ghana and Ethiopia.

As part of the Welcome Trust funded LEAP programme (2017-2021), OPSIS investigated the impacts of livestock production on water resources at a global scale. The team analysed hotspots of where livestock production is contributing to water scarcity and harmful river water quality.

GEMCLIME examines the drivers of climate change and energy-related risks, the economic impacts of mitigation and adaptation policies, and investigates policy responses to global climate and energy challenges.

The CGFI is a national centre established to accelerate the adoption and use of climate and environmental data and analytics by financial institutions internationally. It unlocks opportunities for the UK to lead in greening finance and financing green.

PortWatch is a new, high-impact online portal to monitor and simulate trade disruptions due to climate extremes and other shocks. Using satellite-based vessel data and big data analytics, the platform helps policymakers, analysts, and other public stakeholders assess the impact of disruptions to maritime trade. 

This initiative aims to improve access to climate risk data, providing decision-makers with the tools to better understand and address the needs of vulnerable communities in the Global South.  OPSIS will build the J-ADAPT Toolkit to help develop adaptation plans that are as just and inclusive as possible. 

As part of the FCDO-funded High Volume Transport (HVT) programme, OPSIS analyses the resilience of trade and essential services to the future impacts of climate change in East Africa.

The Long Term Investment Scenarios (LTIS) report increased understanding of long-term investment scenarios for flood and coastal erosion risk management. 

The National Infrastructure Spatial Tool (NIST) is a digital platform developed by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) which brings together strategies, data, analysis and modelling of infrastructure systems to test needs for, and constraints on, future scenarios of housing and industry. 

The FABLE Consortium is convened as part of the Food and Land-Use Coalition (FOLU). It aims to understand how countries can transition towards sustainable land-use and food systems.
