Oxford Net Zero
Overview
The Oxford Net Zero initiative draws on the University of Oxford’s world-leading expertise in climate science and policy, addressing the critical issue of how to reach global ‘net zero’ in time to halt global warming. Leading academics from across the University’s disciplines, including Geography, Physics, Economics, Biology, Law and Earth Sciences, have come together to focus on the long-term questions necessary to achieve equitable, science-based solutions.
Oxford Net Zero aims to transform policies and practices at multiple scales to co-achieve net zero emissions and sustainable development. We will do this through the establishment of the world’s leading translational research initiative providing an integrated view of the scientific, ecological, economic and social challenges through sustained engagement with business, civil society and national and international policy makers.
