Global Systems Institute

How do we achieve a flourishing future for a projected 9 to 11 billion people as an integral part of a life-sustaining Earth system?

Exeter is a world-leading centre in climate change research with more IPCC authors than any other city in the world. 

The Global Systems Institute harnesses this expertise with other global change researchers in the University and beyond, bringing them together with industry, policymakers, students, NGOs, citizens and other stakeholders to tackle shared problems. We provide thought-leadership and action-orientated research to drive systems based solutions to the climate and biodiversity crises.

The University of Exeter is winner of The Times Higher Education Award for 'Outstanding Contribution to Environmental Leadership' 2024
