Research teams in the UK will unite as part of a novel project to make significant advancements in scientific climate solutions.<\/h2>\n

Seven Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) centres will work alongside the Met Office under the umbrella of the UK National Climate Science Partnership (UKNCSP<\/a>). The novel partnership will work towards developing scientific climate solutions.<\/p>\n

Acknowledging the necessity of reaching the objectives of the Paris Agreement and UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, UKNCSP will play a vital role in developing an end-to-end climate strategy.<\/p>\n

Professor Paul Monks, Chief Scientific Adviser for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), has introduced the collaboration at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP26.<\/p>\n

He summarised how the Met Office and the seven NERC-supported research centres will bring together their science research capabilities with universities across the country, explaining how they will integrate the UK\u2019s abilities for monitoring, modelling, and predicting climate change and its effects.<\/p>\n

Adapting to pressing challenges<\/h3>\n

The solution-focused approach led by the UK\u2019s major climate science organisations will assist the government in advancing and evaluating solutions to the challenges of alleviating the impacts of and adjusting to climate change.<\/p>\n

The partnership will also work with the public and private sectors to guarantee that decision-makers and businesses have access to the climate information they need. They will have to build resilience and adjust to the pressing challenges of the coming decades.<\/p>\n

Dr Iain Williams, NERC\u2019s Director of Strategic Partnerships, said: \u201cAs the UK\u2019s leading public funder of environmental science, our centres of expertise are essential to supporting policy and innovation that makes it possible for the environment<\/a>, people and businesses to succeed together.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new UKNCSP maximises investment to help ensure that the UK meets its net zero ambitions and, during the year of COP26, we remain a core part of international efforts to build our understanding of our environment and find solutions to climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Developing technologies and modelling new approaches<\/h3>\n

As a core area of focus, post-COP26, the UKNCSP will pool its partnerships\u2019 assets to guarantee the development of aligned and integrated modelling and sustained observing programmes for the evolving global and UK climate.<\/p>\n
