Climate, Environment & Resilience Initiative
Climate action and just transitions for a resilient world
Generating knowledge for climate action, environmental sustainability and just, resilient communities.
Climate action and just transitions for a resilient world
Why This Matters
The climate crisis is also a justice crisis, falling hardest on those who did least to cause it — often women and vulnerable communities. This initiative generates knowledge for climate action that is both effective and fair.
We research the pathways to environmental sustainability, the protection of biodiversity and the resilience communities need to adapt to a changing climate.
Working across science, policy and community, we advance just transitions — ensuring the move to a sustainable future leaves no one behind.
