You can support our most impactful environmental and sustainability projects:
- Environmental Intelligence integrating AI with environmental data to inform decision-making and risk management, through our Joint Centre for Excellence with the UK Met Office.
- Space technology innovation developing climate-critical tools like ENDGame for the Met Office’s weather prediction models, delivering £1.5 billion in benefits to the UK economy.
- Air quality solutions with our DIMAQ system informing WHO and UN work, tracking progress toward UN Sustainable Development Goals for reducing air pollution by 2030.
- Marine protection creating tools like ReefBudget that guide conservation of vital reef ecosystems worldwide, while our award-winning research on microplastics directly influences global policy including UN resolutions.
- Climate resilience through our CLIMAR framework, using Data Science and AI to assess climate change risks on populations and infrastructure, essential for designing pathways to NetZero.
“Supporting environmental research at Exeter helps us to better understand the tools and mechanisms we need to protect our planet in the face of climate change, and crucially impact industry and policy makers to ensure positive change.”
Professor Peter Cox, Director of the Global Systems Institute at Exeter.
A monthly gift of £167 could fund cutting-edge environmental monitoring equipment for one academic year, enabling our researchers to gather the real-time data that drives policy change and technological innovation.
