London Climate Action Week returns from 21-29 June, spotlighting how cities like London can bridge local climate action with global impact. We’re co-hosting a roundtable with Imperial College London exploring best practices for how mental health can be better integrated into climate policy, planning, and public health.
Join the conversations already happening in our newly launched Public Health Community of Practice, where public servants are exploring the deep links between climate and health.
What if supporting mental health could accelerate climate action, and vice versa? This course explores the powerful, two-way connection between climate change and mental wellbeing. You’ll learn how stronger social and emotional health can drive climate engagement, and how meaningful climate action can improve mental health outcomes.
Developed with experts from Imperial College London, the course equips public servants with the knowledge and tools to design policies that support both people and planet.
How can government leaders mobilise private finance for urgent climate action? This short brief sets out what governments need to know: the capabilities that matter, the gaps that exist and how public servants around the world are starting to close them.
Working on a retrofit project for energy efficiency, or looking for examples of best practice? Members of the Energy and Climate Community are sharing their insights and key learnings from their own case studies.
Oxford Net Zero have co-hosted a series of online seminars with Oxford EARTH and the ZERO Institute about why we need net zero, what progress we have and haven't made in getting there, and what it will take to achieve it in a sustainable, durable and equitable way.
And finally...
What if we could see straight through the forest without setting foot on the ground? The European Space Agency’s new Biomass satellite, launched this spring, is doing just that. Using a powerful radar instrument, it can pierce through dense canopy cover to map the structure of forests worldwide, capturing data on tree height, density, and carbon storage.
The mission could be a game-changer for climate monitoring, offering unprecedented insights into how forests absorb and store carbon over time. It’s also a reminder that some of the best tools for understanding life on Earth are now orbiting high above it.
