Net Zero Hub

Net Zero Hub Mission

The º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Net Zero Hub seeks to maximise the º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½’s contribution to achieving a resilient and sustainable net zero world. We are harnessing the range and breadth of our research capabilities, both in the UK and globally, to develop solutions that have a transformational impact on the prospects of our region, its economy, its people, and its communities – with collaboration, openness, respect, and excellence embedded in all that we do.  

We do this by integrating and enhancing our º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ partnership-wide offering, through: 

  • research and innovation to drive technological and social change,
  • education and training to provide the skills needed to deliver a greener and brighter future and,
  • engaging with a broad range of stakeholders to develop solutions collectively

Net Zero Vision

‘Enable university-wide opportunity to engage with current and future net zero challenges and opportunities, and place º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ at the epicentre of this transformation for a just transition to the people, communities and economy of the region.’

º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Research themes include:

  • Healthy and Sustainable Communities
  • Innovative Energy Solutions
  • Healthy and Sustainable Ecosystems

º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Net Zero research is based on our unique regional characteristics and strengths within the partnership, with a focus on research themes integral to the impact on, and ability of our local communities and economies to achieve Net Zero and sustainability goals.

By integrating our partnership-wide research offering we are connecting researchers nationally and internationally, integrating research with policymaking, business, and local government, engaging with students of all ages and supporting º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½’s decarbonisation and sustainability agendas.
