Accelerate climate innovation 

From renewable energy and sustainable buildings to food systems and climate adaptation, academic research is helping accelerate innovation, unlock new economic opportunities and support climate action at scale.  

Develop solutions for a low-carbon future 

By advancing breakthroughs in renewable energy, battery storage, electric mobility, sustainable materials and climate-resilient technologies, research institutions can help industries reduce emissions, improve efficiency and unlock new opportunities in the growing low-carbon economy. 

Strengthen decision-making through science 

By supporting independent, peer-reviewed research, academic institutions can help governments, businesses and communities better understand climate risks, identify solutions and make more informed decisions. Strong science is also critical to countering misinformation and building public trust in climate action. 

Improve climate and biodiversity data 

Improving climate modelling, biodiversity monitoring and evidence-based research, academic institutions can help communities, governments and businesses reduce risks, strengthen planning and make smarter long-term investments in a rapidly changing world. 

Train the next generation of climate leaders 

Equipping people with the skills needed for the transition to low-carbon and climate-resilient economies, universities and training institutions can help prepare students and professionals for emerging industries and green jobs while building a future-ready workforce 

Collaborate to scale climate solutions 

Strengthening partnerships between academia, governments, businesses and communities, institutions can help accelerate innovation, unlock investment and scale practical climate solutions faster. Collaboration across sectors is essential to building more resilient, inclusive and sustainable societies.
