Oxford Net Zero

oxford net zero is an interdisciplinary research initiative based in the university of oxford’s fifteen years of research on climate neutrality. our research fellows recruited from partner institutions from around the world are working to track progress, align standards and inform effective solutions in climate science, law, policy, economics, clean energy, transport, land and food systems and greenhouse gas removal and storage. our aim is to address the issue of how we limit the cumulative net total co2 in the atmosphere, in line with the goals of the paris agreement, while acknowledging that it is now inevitable that more co2 will be generated from energy, industry and land-use change than our goals allow. our mission is to inform effective and ambitious climate action among those setting net zero targets in institutions and governments across the globe. oxford coordinates with other academic institutions and research hubs around the world to undertake a series of engagement exe
