Greener futures

Reaching Net Zero goals requires us to understand, propose and implement innovative solutions to pressing biodiversity, economic, environmental sustainability challenges. Securing greener futures will require research creativity and entrepreneurial engagement with partners. Some of this work has seen our academic staff take up leadership and advisory roles with government, civil society and Parliament. Recent project work has involved working with the Mayor’s Office to focus on how we support young people and their commitment to mapping out greener futures in London.
