Towards a culture of low-carbon research for the 21st Century

Towards a culture of low-carbon research for the 21st Century

The research community has highlighted for several decades the implications of greenhouse gas emissions for climate change. In response, world governments have agreed to limit global temperature change to 2°C, which requires drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. In advanced economies, a commitment to a 2°C limit generally represents a reduction of emissions of between 80-95% from the 1990 baseline.

This is a selection of some research projects where I guide and capacity build stakeholder engagement and communication, with current projects listed  first. It is not an exhaustive list, much of my work and strategy advice is adhoc and informal.
