Climate change is global. Its impact is local.
Helping communities and decision-makers prepare for a changing world.
Earth and Environment
From global challenge to local change
The decisions made at COP31 have consequences far beyond the conference itself. From record heat and extreme rainfall to pressure on food, health and infrastructure, the impacts of a changing climate are increasingly being felt here in the UK.
As world leaders gather for COP31, our researchers are exploring what these changes mean for people and communities, from El Niño and extreme weather to Earth observation, food security and climate resilience, and how research can help us adapt and build resilience for the future.
Our researchers, students and partners will be part of the COP31 conversation, connecting global climate action with research and solutions that make a difference closer to home.
