UK Universities Climate Network

Founded as the COP26 Universities Network, we're a group of 80+ UK universities and research centres working together for a zero carbon, resilient future. #UUCN

Check out our new blog on the importance of policy-academia partnerships for climate action!

@yasemin_didem reflects on her secondment with @uksciencechief and how she applied her research expertise to critical climate adaption priorities.

With support from @CambridgeZero & @PriestleyCentre we've created a Climate Policy Engagement Timeline. It helps UK universities engage with decision-makers by providing information about key national & international climate initiatives. Read more: https://t.co/sfS9oRYvcd

As things wrap up for us @COP29_AZ we just want to say a big thanks to all UUCN partners who ran COP events over the last 2 weeks, and to everyone who attended an event in person or online. We hope to see you again at #COP30 in Brazil! #climatechange #COP29 #COP29Baku

Congratulations UUCN members @CranfieldUni, @DerbyUni, @UniofExeter, @imperialcollege @UniversityLeeds & @UniofNottingham who are in the new £5m @ResEngland 'Climate Scaling Collaborative'. It will support climate innovators across the UK: https://t.co/8aQahdOdCa #climatechange

With biodiversity loss at a critical stage and lack of funding a huge obstacle to conservation, countries and business need to take urgent action.

Could biodiversity credits be the answer? #COP29

@ImperialCollege doctoral researcher @R_PrestonAllen explains👇

It's the penultimate day of @COP29_AZ, and UUCN members @imperialcollege & @UniversityLeeds are holding events in Baku on 'Youth-led action on mental health & climate change', and 'International climate research on adaptation plans'. More details: https://t.co/0EaIZaTrDw #COP29

Today's theme at #COP29 is Food, Agriculture and Water 🌾💧

Here in Leeds, researchers from @ScienceLeeds, @EnvLeeds and @LeedsUniEng are exploring how we can develop net zero farms in order to decarbonise the UK and build a more sustainable farming system!

💬The aim is to recharge the field, start a conversation about climate losses and damages, and help people understand how climate change is making life more dangerous and more expensive.”

Day 4 at #COP29, and who better than @wilkinsmike
of @ImperialCCFI to keep us updated?

Negotiations are progressing slowly.

The big question is how much climate finance rich countries will provide to developing countries each year. Hundreds of billions? Or a trillion?

Despite the fact that tackling climate change requires global efforts, individual actions can make a difference too.
