Research problems linked to this topic
- How can we model existing data from human, animal, plant, and environmental health indicators to better understand the interconnection and potential impacts of climate change?
- What are the impacts of greenhouse gas removals and negative emission technologies on climate and the environment? What are the trade-offs of negative emissions techniques and other interventions?
- How might we most effectively measure readiness for high-impact low-probability risks in the assessment of UK resilience?
- How can we conduct probabilistic analysis of the likelihood of man-made risks for policy purposes where human agency is subject to particular varieties of uncertainty?
- Systems analysis that considers human-environmental systems as a complex set of interactions, and the novel use of systems thinking to consider the feedbacks and consequences of action in this system
- How do we measure performance / capability development for a risk before it materialises?
- How do we make risk-reduction real at the local level where it is not realistic to extrapolate from large-scale datasets and statistics?
- Development of models to support decision making on complex and wicked problems (for example on land use, environmental trade-offs, food systems)
- Development of systems approaches that can be used to inform policymaking. This includes approaches to provide insights into complex systems, identify points of intervention, account for multiple perspectives, and frame policy decisions
