Programme outline
For more than 50 years, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), its councils and predecessors have with our partners invested in international cutting-edge research and innovation to understand, tackle and mitigate the effects of climate change, and embed evidence in decision making and global climate policy.
Today, the UK is at the forefront of a new, green industrial revolution. Research, innovation and partnership continue to underpin the UK’s commitment to:
- achieving a net zero economy by 2050
- respond to the challenges of climate change
- live more sustainably
At this event Tim Wheeler, International Director at UKRI, showcased some of the bold initiatives UKRI is enabling and supporting in this crucial endeavour and give details of how UKRI is contributing towards the success of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) being held in Glasgow later this year.
Claire MacFarlane, People, Partnership and Sustainability Counsellor at the UK Mission to the EU outlined relevant UK R&I activities and events that are being delivered to support COP26 planning and delivery.
