Sustainable futures

Sustainability is central to much of our work, and our universities encourage its integration into all of their disciplines. UEA’s world­leading work in climate science has led to the foundation of the cross­institutional ClimateUEA initiative. Similarly, one of Sussex’s 12 centres of excellence (CoEs) is the Sussex Sustainability Research Programme (SSRP), which delivers interdisciplinary research to help achieve the global sustainability goals for humanity and the environment.

At Kent, the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) is designed to break down the barriers between the natural and social sciences and produce real­world impact.

Understanding how we must work collaboratively to safeguard our world for future generations is at the heart of what we do, and we will learn from and build on the interdisciplinary principles that have been so effective for each of our members.
