'Perhaps one of the clearest lessons coming from the pandemic is the folly of ignoring known risks. The risks of climate change are becoming daily more apparent; we cannot afford to ignore the warning signs.' Vice-Chancellor Professor Louise Richardson
Oxford research for a changing world
Oxford University is engaged in critical research on climate, energy, food, water, waste and biodiversity - looking for causes, answers to and solutions for these pressing global problems.
Oxford research is key in the fight to understand what is happening with our world and why - from global temperature change to sea level increases, from extreme weather to biodiversity threats.
But knowing why is just the start, we need clear responses and tangible solutions. So Oxford researchers are already actively addressing environmental challenges in partnership with governments, industries, charities, educational institutions and the broader United Nations.
Hundreds of academics from across Oxford are engaged in climate and biodiversity research with real world impacts. Experts from every field; including our Sciences, Social Sciences, Economics, Politics, Geography, Law and Finance, are coming together to deliver in-depth research and cutting-edge answers, and provide sustainable, realistic solutions. You can make a difference too:
- Take part in the discussions
- Make informed decisions
- Collaborate on the next big breakthrough
- And discover how Oxford research is making a positive impact on our changing world.
