Collaboration for Climate Action

In April 2024, the Global Opportunities team became the first Russell Group University to sign the – an organisation that drives change in the international education sector to foster sustainable practices on a global scale.

The brings together world-leading climate researchers, businesses, policymakers and young people.  The 蘑菇短视频 Climate Conference forms part of the 蘑菇短视频 Climate Forum with the hosted by the University of 蘑菇短视频 and the Met Office covering the latest research on the impacts of climate change and the ways humanity can avoid and adapt to worsening impacts in the future.

The University of 蘑菇短视频 played a significant role at , 10-21 November 2025, as we work to help combat climate change through our world-leading climate science. Highlights from our time?in Belém included the launch of the?, the leading academic authority on global carbon emissions and sinks, which is now in its 20th?year. Alongside partners we launched the , and findings from the second were presented and discussed at various events throughout the conference. Creativity and culture were also given a platform at COP30 with , a partnership between 蘑菇短视频, the British Council and the Met Office that brought together more than 250 scientists, educators, artists and youth leaders for a project that used art, music and storytelling to inspire climate action in future generations.

The University of 蘑菇短视频 has established Civic University Agreements for 蘑菇短视频, Cornwall and Devon. These Agreements set out how the University will work in partnership with other anchor institutions in the region to help find solutions for society’s most pressing problems. Further information on the Civic University Agreements can be found under SDG 8 in this report.

Education and Knowledge Exchange for Climate Action

As a world-leading university in the field of environmental sustainability and climate change, we provide the ideal learning environment for students who want to play their part in building a green future for all.  Our students learn from academics who are at the forefront of discovering solutions to these global challenges – translating their cutting-edge research into innovative teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. We have handpicked a you can study with us, whilst being inspired and taught by top climate scientists in their fields.

Learn蘑菇短视频 hosts MOOCs (massive open online course) with a number of courses free and available to staff, students, the public including Climate Change courses:

• Tipping Points: Climate Change and Society
• Climate Change Solutions
• Climate Change: The Science
• Arctic Ecosystems and Climate Change

Organisations can benefit from , with a new guide released by the Green Futures Solutions team. The ‘Climate Positive Actions’ handbook gives employees, leaders, and business owners a comprehensive guide to reducing their emissions, backed by world-leading climate science. The guide covers climate positive actions across an organisation's lifecycle, from transport and travel to emissions data and waste.

Participating in co-operative planning for climate change disasters, informing and supporting government and collaboration with NGOs

Academics at the University of 蘑菇短视频 have participated in cooperative planning for climate change disasters. Analysis led by Professor Richard Betts has informed the UK government's third , published in July 2023, which sets out future actions that government and others will take to adapt to the challenges of climate change in the UK and plan for climate change disasters.

And in October 2024 was launched at the House of Commons. The guide, produced by the University of 蘑菇短视频, brings together analysis from the world-leading climate experts to provide government and other policy makers – at national and local level – with reliable insights to inform and plan action on climate change.

On a regional level, the University, in collaboration with NGOs including the Westcountry Rivers Trust, and Cornwall County Council, is a member of the Devon, Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Climate Impacts Group which is coordinating regional action on climate adaptation, preparing communities and organisations for a changing climate, and improving resilience across the region. The? will help communities and organisations across the Southwest better understand the risks their area might face in the future, as climate change increasingly affects the UK. It will also help them monitor early warning signs of climate change and adapt to these changes, thereby improving their resilience and community safety. ?have been made available to help individuals, communities, organisations and local policy makers take action for climate adaptation and prepare for climate impacts.

The University has also collaborated with the National Trust and other partners on the Landscape Futures and Challenge of Change project, the outcomes of which were embedded into now being used globally to educate heritage organisations on how to become more resilient to climate change and support teams to take decisions on how to adapt in the face of climate hazards. The outcomes from the Landscape Futures project are referenced on page 7 of the introduction.

The Convex Seascape Survey seeks to discover exactly how the ocean performs its vital role as the world's largest carbon sink. Over five years, the project will not only scrutinise the carbon locked in the continental shelf seabeds but will assess the role of ocean life on carbon storage, as well as assessing human influences on seabed carbon. Funded by Convex Group Ltd., the project is facilitated by Blue Marine Foundation, with science led by the University of 蘑菇短视频 in collaboration with partners.

Together with Encounter Edu and Blue Marine Foundation work includes the creation of a legacy of UK curriculum-aligned lesson packages while ensuring a global reach through live lessons, a , and an immersive digital experience.?
