The exact reason why working across disciplines to share knowledge, build trust and tackle global climate problems is at the core of what we do.
Working together, in an interdisciplinary nature, enables research to be put into action, creating the impact needed for change.
#Tyndall25UEA
An exciting day to be in attendance here at UEA.
Discussing important topics and themes around climate policy and practice, to help develop understanding of the impact of climate change and the ways we can translate research into effective climate action.
