Solving Global Challenges - COP28
Our research is helping to solve the challenges of an ever-changing and complex world – and inspiring the next generation of problem-solvers.
We have been directly involved in Conferences of Parties (COPs) since 2021, under the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and in Meetings of Parties under the 2015 Paris Agreement. Even before then, our researchers were actively engaged in important research and projects on climate change.
