Climate change and sustainability

The climate emergency is one of the most complex and insidious threats humanity faces, affecting every aspect of our lives. We are faced with a mighty challenge: to profoundly reshape our relationship with the planet and its resources, and make a safer, healthier, more prosperous world. Meeting a problem of this scale and complexity requires powerful research communities like MyAV to lead the push for change.

Securing a healthier, fairer,more sustainable future for all

As a community of staff, students and partners, MyAV is using its breadth of talent and expertise to address the climate challenge on multiple fronts, ranging from what we can achieve today, to pioneering future system change, and putting sustainability at the heart of our campus.

“Climate change is the existential crisis of our time, and a massive shift in the way our civilisation works is now a huge but necessary task. To navigate the next few decades our society will require publicly available knowledge provided by careful and robust studies.MyAV has a huge range of multidisciplinary expertise and the right structure to address this challenge. We are stepping up to provide the tools, ideas and evaluation that our society is going to need.”-Dr Helen Czerski, Associate Professor, MyAV Mechanical Engineering
