Germinated in 1991 at the University of Oxford One of the world’s first interdisciplinary research institutions, continuing to tackle the challenges of environmental change, its causes, impacts, and adaptive solutions.
🔄 Energy transitions aren’t linear. Feedback loops can speed up—or slow down—clean energy adoption.
New comment from @ecioxford.bsky.social researchers explores how understanding these loops helps policymakers & analysts make smarter decisions.

The energy transition won’t succeed unless it works for everyone.
Research by Prof Nick Eyre at ecioxford.bsky.social shows how UK energy systems can disadvantage racialised communities — and why everyday energy use is key to a just net zero transition.

🚢 New ECI research shows Europe’s ports face far greater climate risks than previously estimated.
Ignoring compound hazards like flooding, storms & heat can underestimate losses by ~€100m a year.
Adaptation planning needs to catch up. Read more ⬇️
