Research and Sustainability at Warwick

We are dedicated to integrating sustainability into every aspect of research, empowering our Warwick community to develop innovative solutions for a sustainable future.

At Warwick, we are embedding sustainability across all research activities - from interdisciplinary collaborations to real-world applications - through pioneering methodologies, cross-sector partnerships, and impactful outcomes.

Our Institute of Global Sustainable Development (IGSD) brings together researchers across disciplines to address complex sustainability challenges, while Research and Impact Services (RIS) provides crucial support for sustainability-focused funding opportunities and knowledge exchange.

Case Studies from across the University showcase how Warwick research is driving transformative change in areas from renewable energy to sustainable food systems. Initiatives like our Sustainability Spotlight series highlight emerging research that addresses pressing environmental and social challenges.

We also demonstrate our commitment through the Research Sustainability Concordat, ensuring ethical and sustainable research practices, while our Living Lab approach transforms our campus into a testbed for sustainability innovations developed by our own researchers and students.

Together, these efforts reflect our commitment to aligning with the University's Sustainability Strategy and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals - ensuring our research not only advances knowledge but creates tangible impact for people and planet.
