Environmental Sustainability Research Centre

Work with our dynamic research team and get involved in projects that confront the issues resulting from climate change and have the potential to influence national and international debate. Help generate ideas and solutions that have long-term environmental, societal and economic benefits in a changing world.

Big global problems need tackling by multidisciplinary teams using a variety of approaches and a unique mix of skills. That’s why the forward-thinking team at the ESRC takes a refreshingly broad interdisciplinary approach. Although located within the College of Life and Natural Sciences, it benefits from access to students, academics and resources across the University of Derby in areas like engineering, the built environment and tourism.

Our outward-looking, mutually inclusive research culture means we foster strong working relationships with other leading academic institutions, charitable and philanthropic organisations, governments, international non-governmental organisations and industry leaders.

This intellectually rigorous approach ensures the maximum exchange of knowledge between parties and generates research outcomes that have a significant impact on global problems in environmental sustainability. It also means we are well equipped to find solutions for the challenges of climate change and sustainable development that lay ahead.

Collaboration to ensure a sustainable global future.
