We’re proud that members of the Environmental Change Institute (ECI) Climate Research Programme continue to contribute to the work of Oxford Net Zero, helping to tackle one of the most pressing challenges of our time: the global transition to net zero. 

Oxford Net Zero is an interdisciplinary research initiative based at the University of Oxford. Researchers sit across ten Departments of the University, including Law, Physics, Biology, Earth Sciences, Anthropology and Geography. As an academic research programme, the collaborative unit produces high-quality, peer-reviewed research, and leverage that work to provide advice and expertise to policymakers, global industry leaders and international organisations in the global race to net zero. Their recent five-year Showcase event highlighted the depth and breadth of research across the University.  

ECI’s Climate Lead, Professor Myles Allen, who is also the Founding Director of Oxford Net Zero, reflected on the programme’s mission: “The meaning of net zero and how to get it right.” His leadership exemplifies how ECI expertise is embedded within the interdisciplinary research initiative, ensuring that rigorous climate science informs interdisciplinary research and practical solutions.

We’re delighted that the ECI’s knowledge and research continue to play a key role in Oxford Net Zero, alongside colleagues from across the University. Find out more about the ECI colleagues who are also involved with Oxford Net Zero.

The showcase demonstrated that collaborative, cross-disciplinary work is essential if we are to deliver a fair and effective net-zero transition. We look forward to continuing our contribution to Oxford Net Zero as it moves into its next phase of research and impact.
