Shifting toward a fair and eco-conscious society stands as this era's defining challenge. The Environment and Sustainability research team conducts interdisciplinary, globally-reaching studies examining the principles, approaches, and policies behind all key aspects of societal and environmental sustainability - spanning health and wellness to risk assessment, ethical considerations, and concepts of place and belonging.
Our researchers have extensive publications across diverse fields including geography, economics, psychology, environmental studies, sociology, political science, and development studies. Notable achievements include Saffron O'Neill receiving a Leverhulme Fellowship for climate communication work, Federico Caprotti earning a Newton Prize for studies on off-grid energy shifts in South African cities, Neil Adger being honored with the BBVA Frontiers of Knowledge award for climate research, Catherine Mitchell and Patrick Devine-Wright's contributions to the IPCC, plus Patrick Devine-Wright, Katrina Brown, and Neil Adger's recognition as ISI Highly Cited researchers.
