All ECI Projects

SUSFANS built a conceptual framework, evidence base and analytical tools to underpin EU-wide food policies on consumer diet and the implications for nutrition and public health. It also explored the competitiveness of EU agri-food sectors, and global food and nutrition security. 

The GREEN-WIN project created an international, transdisciplinary research collaboration to understand the links between climate action and sustainability, and overcoming barriers through win-win strategies. 

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

DAFNI is the national platform to satisfy the computational needs in support of data analysis; infrastructure research; and strategic thinking for the UK’s long term planning and investment needs.

Researchers with expertise in chemical engineering, infrastructure, and public policy came together to plan for the UK’s transition to net zero shipping.  They produced the first comprehensive and spatially granular global picture of supply and demand for the future (2050) green ammonia economy. 

The MACC Hub aims to inform the UK's climate change adaptation plan and address current barriers around public awareness, policy, legislation and climate data. A systems approach to climate risk assessment will improve understanding of climate risks and adaptation outcomes.

By integrating climate modelling, hydrological modelling and water resources system simulation, OPSIS delivered a simulation model to inform large-scale strategic infrastructure planning by the Regulators’ Alliance for Progressing Infrastructure Development (RAPID). 

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