SCIENCE

	Research and policy

Pioneering UK research into climate change and sustainability encompasses an increasingly broad range of disciplines, including the life sciences, social sciences, economics and engineering. Here, we have included a range of projects and publications with research data on climate change.

		UK research programmes
		Climate change research in the UK can be grouped into three main categories: the science of climate change; living with the impact of climate change (adaptation); and reducing the effects of climate change (mitigation). Here, we can link you to the main UK organisations that are researching adaptation, mitigation and the science of climate change.

		Research Councils
		Links to the UK’s Research Councils (autonomous, non-departmental public bodies) that ensure the UK has the skills and infrastructure and to produce world-leading research and innovative technologies for UK industry.

		International research and policy
		Scientific evidence on climate change increased throughout the 1980s; by the end of the decade, some industrialised countries were calling for negotiations on a climate change convention. Here you'll find links to the various international agreements and reports on climate change that were the result of this.

		UK policy and technical publications
		Policy development on the issue of climate change issue is directly linked to scientific research. This selection of policy and technical publications documents the UK’s response to climate change.
