We are the ESRC Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy: advancing public and private action on climate change through rigorous, innovative research.
Pioneering work by @LeedsClimateCom which I suspect is going to benefit many similar initiatives to follow, embedding the negotiation of @RapidTransition in the face of the #ClimateEmergency in a citizen led process. I learned a lot by being there...
.@UniversityLeeds new climate crisis principles for action announced today include a commitment to working with Leeds City Council, in particular through the Leeds Climate Commission, towards the goal of making Leeds a net-zero carbon city by 2030.
Handy new guide now out on how to communicate the increasing risks posed by climate impacts. Produced for @WomensInstitute's Climate Ambassadors by @ClimateOutreach with funding from @ESRC https://t.co/8lXog3Zd6r

THREAD: New research by @CCCEP for the Coalition for Urban Transitions (@NCEcities) finds that climate action in Indian cities could:
☀️ reduce energy bills for >2.5 million households
🏡 fund ~1 million additional homes
👷♂️ generate well over 100,000 new jobs
