UN Climate Change Conference COP28

Dr Gbemi Oluleye, Imperial College Research Fellow, discusses her research on cutting greenhouse gas emissions from industrial sectors.

Dr Joeri Rogelj, Director of Research at the Grantham Institute, discusses how his research helps to inform international climate targets to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

Dr Bonnie Waring, Senior Lecturer at the Grantham Institute, discusses her research on the carbon cycle and how far nature-based solutions like tree planting can be effective in helping to tackle climate change.

Climate change is altering weather events across the world, and has been for years, says Dr Friederike Otto, Senior Lecturer at the Grantham Institute and Founder of the World Weather Attribution project. It is killing people, destroying livelihoods and causing enormous economic damage across the world - and those who are paying the costs are not those who have caused the problem. Dr Otto discusses her research, which connects the academic understanding of climate change with what people experience, why it's so important to reduce vulnerability to climate change, and climate justice.

Dr Madeleine Morris, Research Associate at the Grantham Institute, discusses her research on whether the policies, regulations and market structures of today's energy system are fit for purpose for a future energy system that fits into a net-zero world.

Naveed Chaudhry, Accelerator Lead at the Grantham Institute, discusses the role of entrepreneurs and startups in tackling climate change, and how innovation can help create a cleaner, greener future.

Dr Mirabelle Muûls, Assistant Professor of Economics at Imperial College Business School, discusses her research on the economics of climate change and the impact of climate change on businesses.

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) aren’t the only contributors to global warming created by flying – the clouds formed high up in the atmosphere by planes have a significant impact too. Understanding them better could offer valuable ways to change aviation and reduce its impact on the climate. Dr Edward Gryspeerdt, Research Fellow and lecturer, in the Grantham Institute, explains more about his work studying the impact of human activity on cloud formation.

Dr Oytun Babacan, Imperial College Research Fellow at the Grantham Institute, discusses his research on low-carbon Too much, or too little water, is increasingly having devastating impacts on communities around the world. Wouter Buytaert, Professor of Hydrology and Water Resources in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, tells us more about this precious resource.energy technologies and how to integrate emerging technologies into existing infrastructure.

Dr Oytun Babacan, Imperial College Research Fellow at the Grantham Institute, discusses his research on low-carbon energy technologies and how to integrate emerging technologies into existing infrastructure.

Dr Caroline Wainwright, Grantham Institute Research Fellow and expert in African weather and climate, discusses how global temperature changes are affecting seasonal rainfall in the world’s tropical regions, particularly sub-Saharan Africa, and why better weather forecasting and early warning systems are so important for local people.
