Nature, biodiversity and oceans

Stark evidence suggests that urgent action must be taken to tackle the climate crisis and our ambitions must match the scale of the challenge. Liverpool leads ground-breaking innovations in climate science for the conservation, restoration and sustainable management of nature to scale up efforts to preserve natural eco-systems. Our research in this area can develop pathways to tangible change, generating natural environments that flourish, breathe, and sustain life for generations to come.

Buxton Climate Change Impacts Lab

The BCCIL is the longest running climate change experiment in the UK, and the second longest in the world. Researchers are dedicated to investigating the impact that climate change has on the UK's grasslands and how to maintain and protect the biodiversity that lives within it for future generations.
