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.

TABLE is a food systems platform that sets out the evidence, assumptions and values that people bring to debates about resilient and sustainable food futures. 

We explore the data, the biases and the beliefs behind those debates in order to support better dialogue, decision making and action.

Climate Compatible Growth (CCG) is a UK Aid-funded programme which aims to support investment in sustainable energy and transport systems to meet development priorities in the Global South. 

Bringing together academic researchers and industry experts in modeling, big data, and reinsurance, this initiative aims to advance methods in systemic risk modeling to better inform industry and policymakers on how to build more resilient trade networks in an increasingly volatile world.

Spatial modelling was used to analyse possible patterns of urbanisation in the Oxford-Cambridge Arc. OPSIS investigated a range of different scenarios, including those that prioritise accessibility to public transport and green corridors for nature (nature recovery networks).

A new, state-of-the-art spatial climate risk analysis toolkit enables the Government of Jamaica to pinpoint and quantify climate-related risks to energy, transport and water supplies.

The Systemic Resilience Initiative aims to advance practical solutions to manage shocks with the potential for major and prolonged economic disruption, severe human or economic impacts, and contagion.

The MIRACA consortium aims to empower public authorities and Critical Infrastructure managers to pinpoint risk-prone areas and develop affordable adaptation strategies to mitigate the physical and economic damages that can result from climate change. OPSIS is leading the development of trans-European transport network flow an

This programme uses systems analysis to explore sustainable futures in the Nile and Jordan River Basins and promote cross-border cooperation where vital, shared resources — such as electricity transmission cables and rivers — can cause disputes.

The GCRF Hub brings together an international team to address climate risks and contribute towards achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation). Within the Hub OPSIS analyses the resilience of water infrastructure in Ethiopia to future climatic threats.
