The Global Centers will form a vital part of that work, deepening collaboration with researchers in the US, Canada, and Australia that is vital to our collective future. No one company possesses a monopoly on genius which is why it is vital that the UK works with like-minded partners. George Freeman MP, Minister of State and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology said:įrom the use of engineering biology to decarbonise our economies to agritech breakthroughs that will help us manage precious water resources, science and innovation will be critical to tackling the enormous challenges posed by climate change, while seizing the opportunities that open up as we pivot to new, cleaner energy. UK funding includes support for projects innovating the production of greener fuels and supplying cleaner power. Through this programme, the UK continues to lead in what is now a truly global scientific effort to address climate change.
The Global Centers will conduct innovative research to tackle hard-to-decarbonise sectors across the UK economy, accelerating transformative socioeconomic and technological innovation and driving the energy transition to reach the UK’s net zero targets by 2050. It is also creating an ecosystem of global centres generating outcomes and solutions which have clear benefits for society in our efforts to tackle the climate crisis. Led by the US National Science Foundation (NSF), the initiative is funding international, interdisciplinary collaborative research on use-inspired themes in clean energy and climate change. Global Centers on clean energy and climate change is an ambitious, novel clean energy and climate change programme being delivered by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) in conjunction with like-minded international funders.
