A review of ten types of policy used to reduce carbon suggests that some costs fall on those less able to bear them – but it also shows these policies can form the bedrock of a ‘green recovery’ if specifically designed and used in tandem.

̽»¨Ö±²¥weathering of rocks at the Earth’s surface may remove less greenhouse gas from the atmosphere than previous estimates indicated, says new research from the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge.

It is crucial that recovery from the pandemic is shaped to support the responses to climate change and biodiversity loss if we hope to mitigate yet further global disaster, says Dr Emily Shuckburgh, Director of Cambridge Zero. Today (9 November 2020), Cambridge Zero launches A Blueprint for a Green Future to guide how the UK government can best achieve this.

Cambridge researchers offer sneak peek of blueprint for green future as part of free week-long climate festival.

Mammals, birds and amphibians worldwide have lost on average 18% of their natural habitat range as a result of changes in land use and climate change, a new study has found. In a worst-case scenario this loss could increase to 23% over the next 80 years.  

Specially-adapted drones, developed by an international team involving scientists from the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge, are transforming how we forecast eruptions by allowing close-range measurements of previously inaccessible and hazardous volcanoes

̽»¨Ö±²¥first large-scale study of the risks that countries face from dependence on water, energy and land resources has found that globalisation may be decreasing, rather than increasing, the security of global supply chains.

A new web portal to Cambridge ̽»¨Ö±²¥ Botanic Garden's entire living collection, 14,000 plants, aims to open access and fast-track urgent global research.

Researchers have shown that over the past two thousand years, volcanoes have played a larger role in natural temperature variability than previously thought, and their climatic effects may have contributed to past societal and economic change.
