The University provides education in energy generation and consumption, climate impact, sustainable design and related policy. Many of these programmes lie within traditional discipline boundaries; we are now working to encourage students to cross these boundaries in the latter stages of their undergraduate careers. We have a global capacity to educate leaders in both the private and public sectors. Our research in these areas is broad: biofuels, nuclear waste, improved combustion, building design, carbon sequestration, photovoltaics, carbon pricing, energy security, ecosystem impact, etc. We work collaboratively both within the institution and externally, whether with large industry, start-ups, or the public sector. The innovation ecosystem around Cambridge has an important role to play in moving our ideas to realisation. The global standing of the University of Cambridge places upon us a responsibility to produce solutions, to communicate in a rigorous fashion those solutions, to provide input to policy, both public and private and to put our own house in order. | |
