Fears that electric cars could actually increase carbon emissions are unfounded in almost all parts of the world, new research shows.

A technique based on the principles of MRI and NMR has allowed researchers to observe not only how next-generation batteries for large-scale energy storage work, but also how they fail, which will assist in the development of strategies to extend battery lifetimes in support of the transition to a zero-carbon future.

Climate change could add around 20% to the global cost of extreme weather events by 2040, according to early findings from Cambridge researchers, who are urging businesses to evaluate their own exposures to the growing risk to improve their resilience and sustainability.

Sir David Attenborough, Dr Jane Goodall DBE and leading Cambridge ̽»¨Ö±²¥ researchers talk about the urgency of climate crisis – and some of the solutions that will take us towards zero carbon.

A team of early-career researchers from the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge are working with the county council to identify the best ways for Cambridgeshire to reach net zero emissions.

Cambridge ̽»¨Ö±²¥ has committed to dramatically reducing its carbon footprint. But making a meaningful difference will involve tackling the culture of international travel that runs deeply through academia.

̽»¨Ö±²¥Prince of Wales today launched the National Centre for Propulsion and Power during a visit to the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge. Based at the world famous Whittle Laboratory, the Centre aims to accelerate the development of decarbonisation technologies.

Students and teachers across India now have free access to a new curriculum on water security and sustainability, co-developed by researchers at the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge, which incorporates engagement with climate change and climate activism into their lessons.

In a new film, Dr Jane Goodall DBE talks about the environmental crisis and her reasons for hope. 

Director of Cambridge Zero, Dr Emily Shuckburgh, is harnessing Cambridge expertise to tackle the climate emergency.
