ABOUT US
Together we are mobilising research, data and innovation to accelerate Scotland’s transition to Beyond Net Zero. We believe that working together will help drive results. ‘Scotland Beyond Net Zero’ is a coalition designed to catalyse research collaboration, empower our communities and inform the policymaking and action Scotland needs to reach its ambitious targets.
Scotland’s universities have come together, working with our local partners and with the Scottish Government to address key challenges associated with the climate emergency, including clean energy, storage, decarbonisation, green transport, community empowerment and climate justice.
We are building a network of experts across Scotland to accelerate the country’s transition to beyond Net Zero.
“Scotland Beyond Net Zero is a collaboration of leading climate and sustainability experts from Scotland’s universities. Together, we are committed to mobilising research, data and innovation to accelerate Scotland’s transition to a future beyond Net Zero.”
- Professor Christina Boswell, Vice Principal Research & Enterprise, University of Edinburgh
“By pooling our world-leading expertise and research, Scotland Beyond Net Zero aims to facilitate meaningful local action and aid global efforts to tackle climate change.”
- Professor Chris Pearce, Vice-Principal Research & Knowledge Exchange, University of Glasgow
“Universities are playing a vital role in supporting Scotland to achieve Net Zero by 2045. As well as helping to reduce Scotland’s own carbon footprint, by combining our collective expertise we are seeking to impact global change.”
- Professor Peter Mathieson, Principal & Vice Chancellor, University of Edinburgh
"The climate emergency demands that all of us - academia, business, government and third sector - step up our efforts to work together. Scotland has immense potential to innovate to solve the stubborn challenges associated with achieving a fair and just transition to net zero.”
- Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli, Principal & Vice Chancellor, University of Glasgow
