Climate futures

Discover how we're responding to the global climate crisis and climate change through our high-quality research.

The global impacts of climate change and environmental degradation are among the greatest threats to public health, the global economy, and biodiversity.

At Liverpool, we're harnessing our high-quality, multi-disciplinary climate research expertise spanning climate science, emissions reduction, energy transition, food sustainability, air quality, new materials discovery, behaviour insights, risk communication, community engagement and the development of new sustainable technologies for the future.

Working with collaborators at a global, national, and local scale, we're aligning these strengths to explore the impacts of climate change, develop solutions to environmental challenges and address knowledge gaps in the transition to a lower carbon society.

We undertake funded and commissioned research and consultancy activities, share evidence with policymakers and contribute to international climate negotiations. We also provide regular thought leadership to inform the wider public about the climate challenges we're facing and our innovative ideas for tackling them.

Our climate futures research aligns closely with the University’s commitment to sustainability.

Climate Futures: Developing Net Zero Solutions Using Research and Innovation

The IPCC report is clear – human induced climate change has caused global warming and it’s getting worse. To reach net zero we must act now. At the University of Liverpool, we are responding to this challenge. Our analysis of climate models into the oceans directly contributed to the IPCC report.
