At UCL, we cover every aspect of climate change. We host 1000+ climate change experts spanning all 11 academic faculties, as well as departments (like Advanced Research Computing, or Library, Culture, Collections & Open Science), dedicated programmes and units (such as Grand Challenges, Sustainable UCL, and the Climate Action Unit), and the Students’ Union. This extensive network enables us to tackle the climate crisis from every conceivable angle, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations and driving impactful solutions.
Experts in over 100 climate topics
Our climate research and education cover a wide range of disciplines, including:
Marina is the Executive Director of the Lancet Countdown, an independent and multi-disciplinary research collaboration of almost 100 academic centres around the world, and headquartered at UCL's Institute for Global Health.
Lisa is Pro-Vice Provost for UCL's Grand Challenge of Climate Crisis, Professor of Political Science, and Deputy Head of the Department of Political Science.
Dabo holds the Chair position (part-time) of Climate Change and Low Carbon Transition at UCL. He specialises in emission accounting for international climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, scenario analysis on environmental impacts, water resources accounting and management, input-output modelling and their applications in both developed and developing countries.
Susannah works across research, policy and practice on adapting to climate change. Her interest is in ensuring these processes support effective and equitable adaptation, and that adaptation is at the scale and ambition we need for the escalating impacts of climate change.
Dr Matthew Winning is a Lecturer in Economics of Sustainability at the UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources. He is also involved in many public engagement and outreach activities as a climate comedian.
Our database lists UCL academics who are happy to be contacted by the media in relation to their area of research and expertise. Many speak different languages.
Climate expertise isn’t an add-on, it’s embedded in how and what we teach. Our students learn from world-leading climate experts whose research drives global change.
