Our Research
We're researching ways to increase the resilience of our communities and environment to climate change.
Leading environmental research
The CCER is helping to tackle climate change. We provide expertise and international leadership for innovative climate and environmental research.
We are accelerating research that is:
- evidence-based
- solutions-driven
- systems-focused
It draws on Newcastle University’s record of cross-faculty research in this area spanning:
- natural sciences
- engineering
- mathematics
- physics
- business
- education
- social sciences
- medical sciences
This provides a strong multi and transdisciplinary focus to our work. It is evidenced by the Global Challenges Research Fund Interdisciplinary Research Hubs in Water Security and Living Deltas.
Our research aims to transform our society into communities resilient to climate emergency. We'll do this through technological, educational and engineering-led solutions.
Adapting to extreme events
Our researchers are identifying new solutions to help increase our resilience to changing climate extremes.
Enhancing ecosystem resilience
Our researchers are investigating human impacts on biodiversity and developing science-backed solutions that enhance ecosystem resilience and promote sustainable development.
