Renewable energy and decarbonisation
This theme focuses on the social, environmental and economic interactions and impacts of our energy, pollution and waste management choices.
Few would dispute the need for decarbonising the global economy. But the choices of energy mix, associated technology, location and who they impact are an open question.
The choices we make now will impact the social, economic and environmental wellbeing and resilience of our planet, and the diverse needs of current and future generations.
The Sustainability and Resilience Institute (SRI) plays a pivotal role in bringing together efforts from academics, stakeholders, communities and policy makers across the region, and beyond, to support the development of robust sustainable and decarbonisation pathways for the future.
The SRI at the University of Southampton will drive new innovative solutions to existing and future engineering, technical and environmental energy sustainability challenges whilst incorporating wider perspectives on societal, behavioural, economics and policy.
