New UK projects to support clean, green, sustainable living for all

New world-class research and innovation projects across the UK have been announced today by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

Tackling climate change, kickstarting green economic growth and promoting healthy, sustainable living for all across the UK lie at the heart of new investment.

Delivering net zero

This includes delivering net carbon zero impact in UK land sectors, such as farming, forestry and peat uplands, working towards large-scale transformation of the way land is used and managed.

And a significant investment in the UK’s global network of environmental science research centres is also backed.

This will support large-scale monitoring, modelling, and research capabilities in atmosphere, polar ice sheets, freshwaters, seas and land.

Investment for the future

This will ensure our national security to environmental hazards, boost green economic growth and build understanding of climate change for many years to come.

The funding supports new jobs, green growth and state-of-the-art innovation in towns and cities across the UK, from Glasgow to Cornwall, as well as underpinning UK-led expertise across the world.

As with all UKRI investments, the many projects supported by this new funding will play a vital role in kickstarting economic growth and driving the UK’s future as a clean energy superpower.
