• Our experts continue to present the latest climate science to policymakers in the UK and .

• We contributed the largest number of scientists to the first working group of the latest IPCC assessment report, published in summer 2021.

• The University's Vice-Chancellor, Professor Robert Van De Noort, sits on the Universities UK Task and Finish Group on Climate Change.

• The University is leading a key research theme in a £15 million centre on shifting the UK’s demand and consumption of energy, contributing to global green targets.
• Our researchers have identified five areas that outline a pathway to green economic growth in Africa.
• We're helping Caribbean islands transition to renewable energy, and have given Chinese decision-makers access to a new climate change handbook, thanks to the University's Institute of Environmental Analytics.

• We are the home of the warming stripes, which communicate more than a century of rising temperatures due to climate change in a single, striking image. The stripes have been downloaded and shared millions of times, lit up national landmarks, and featured in a major animated film.
• We're pioneering new ways of engaging the public in environmental action, communicating risks to policymakers using a 'storylines' approach, and exploring environmental themes through art.

• Reading is recognised as having some of the most influential climate scientists in the world, who together have won countless awards.
• Together with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), we're training the weather and climate leaders of the future.
• We're studying how airlines could reduce emissions, followed by a new system trialled by air traffic controllers NATS.
• We've mobilised thousands of citizen scientist volunteers to monitor the fruit trees in their gardens, allotments or parks, recording when they flower.
• Reading graduates demonstrate their skills on the world stage, helping countries with climate adaptation and presenting climate and weather information on TV.
