Professor Seddon\u2019s Nature-based Solutions Initiative, based in Oxford, researches the effectiveness of nature in fighting the impacts and drivers of climate change. Her advice is sought by governments, UN agencies and businesses.
Oxford chemists have made a breakthrough towards successfully producing sustainable aviation fuel directly from air (CO2 source) and water (H2 source).
The Oxford Climate Tech and Sustainability Innovation Challenge was a call for Oxford Researchers to submit ideas based on their research to help meet the challenges faced by the world in this historic climate crisis.
\u2018There is no way we are going to be able to ban the entire world from using fossil fuels in time to meet our climate goals,\u2019 warns Professor Myles Allen, the Oxford expert credited with first demonstrating, 15 years ago, the need for \u2018Net-Zero\u2019 carbon dioxide emissions to stop global warming.
In the run-up to Glasgow, 10 leading Oxford climate researchers including Professors Myles Allen, Lavanya Rajamani and Nathalie Seddon, have been asked to record their concerns and hopes for the November conference.
New research has revealed that shifts in the timing of egg laying by great tits in response to climate change vary markedly between breeding sites within the same woodland and that this variation is linked to the health of nearby oak trees.
Leading Oxford climate scientists today insisted there can be no doubt that human-driven climate change is a fact and urgent action is needed, as the IPCC\u2019s report is released showing emissions are driving up temperatures.
Climate pledges at this week\u2019s G7 meeting of the world\u2019s major economies in Cornwall represent positive action. But, in response to the summit agenda, the climate experts call for strong leadership from the leading economies and insist the world needs to stop using fossil fuels now \u2013 if global warming is to be tackled effectively.
Nature-based solutions (NbS) can contribute to the fight against climate change up to the end of our century, according to new Oxford research in Nature. The analysis suggests that, to limit global temperature rise, we must slash emissions and increase NbS investment to protect, manage and restore ecosystems and land for the future.
A key type of zooplankton\u2019s inability to adapt to climate change could have adverse implications for marine food chains across the world if a severe global warming event were to occur, researchers at Oxford University have found.
Researchers at the University of Oxford, alongside international collaborators, have found that there is a significant knowledge gap in the risks posed by climate change to mammals.
The centre, led by Oxford, will transform the finance sector\u2019s ability to invest differently to promote climate and environmental action. Researchers from the Oxford eResearch Centre in the Department of Engineering Science are contributing, alongside researchers from other University departments.
Nature\u2010based solutions can play a key role in helping to tackle the climate and nature crises, while delivering other benefits for people, according to a new paper today from the Nature-based Solutions Initiative (NbSI) at the University of Oxford - but it is vital to get the message right about how to deliver successful NbS and avoid potential pitfalls.
A global team of researchers have outlined a new framework for implementing global commitments to restoring nature, The Mitigation and Conservation Hierarchy - or, more snappily, Four Steps for the Earth.
The Oxford Net Zero initiative, launched this week, draws on the university\u2019s world-leading expertise in climate science and policy, addressing the critical issue of how to reach global \u2018net zero\u2019 \u2013 limiting greenhouse gases \u2013 in time to halt global warming.
In an article from 'The Conversation', John Lynch in the Department of Physics discusses the necessary changes for bringing agriculture in line with a \u201cnet-zero\u201d world.
