Research Network

4CMR Researchers engage with a wide range of research groups, locally, nationally and internationally. This research network strengthens our capacity to identify and respond to research problems. In addition, to collaborating with us, members of the network also work on issues, and use methods, that fall outside our own work, and so they both complement and supplement the information we can bring to the table. We provide below a brief introduction to each organisation so you can more quickly identify the areas of expertise you need to meet your own interests, issues and needs.

Please note that inclusion of a research organisation on this page means we are familiar with the researchers there, collaborate with them, and have found their work to be on topics related to the interest of 4CMR in reducing the risks of climate change. Their views and findings, however, are their own.

FROM WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE

Electricity Policy Research Group has a core discipline of economics and conducts its research through "collaboration between experts from... business, policy, engineering, political science and law."

Centre for Sustainable Development is

a "research community covering sustainable development issues in the fields of water, waste, sustainable communities, assessment methodologies and fragile nation states".

NATIONALLY AND GLOBALLY

Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research "brings together scientists, economists, engineers and social scientists...working to develop sustainable responses to climate change through trans-disciplinary research and dialogue". There are programmes of research in Cities and Coasts; Water and Land Use; Development; Energy; Governance; and Integrated Modelling. It is a portal to research groups at Manchester University, University of Cambridge, University of East Anglia, Oxford University, Newcastle University, University of Sussex and University of Southampton.

Cambridge Econometrics is an "independent consultancy that applies economic modelling and data analysis techniques to the needs of clients in business and government."

Real Climate Economics is a project of Economics for Equity and the Environment Network and Ecotrust, and develops rigorous economic support for immediate, large-scale policy responses to minimize the risks of climate change.

Climate Strategies is "...an international organisation that convenes networks of leading academic experts around specific climate change policy challenges. From this it offers rigorous, independent research to governments and the full range of stakeholders, in Europe and beyond".

Institute for the Environment at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has a wide array of programmes related to climate change, and to sustainability more broadly. It is a widely interdisciplinary institute spanning science, engineering, policy, law and business.
