Future Leaders Programme 2024 - Centre for Landscape Regeneration

The Centre for Landscape Regeneration (CLR) is offering a number of roles as part of this year’s Future Leader Programme with the aim to improve diversity and inclusion in the environmental sciences. These roles are funded by NERC in line with the NERC Diversity and Inclusion Living Action Plan.

Future Leaders Programme 2024

This summer, Cambridge Zero is collaborating with the Centre for Landscape Regeneration, the Department of Architecture and Aldersgate Group to offer a number of paid project assistant positions to current or recent undergraduate students as part of the 2024 Future Leaders Programme. These roles present an opportunity to get involved in these organisations at a critical time for climate and environmental issues globally.

Conspiracy Theories and Geoengineering: A data-driven look at how online climate misinformation works

Dr Ramit Debnath, Cambridge Zero Fellow, led an interdisciplinary team of political scientists, engineers, and justice theorists to investigate how online conspiracy theories are having an impact on the funding for research into new climate technologies like solar geoengineering, which could help lessen the effects of climate change.

New Research: COP must reverse rising pessimism over building sector decarbonisation

The building sector is one of the most important and challenging to decarbonise because it involves a complex overlap of people, places and practices that creates a barrier to designing just emission reduction policies. In a new study led by Cambridge Zero Fellow Ramit Debnath, researchers found that social media engagement with climate policy events is vital to reducing building emissions and ensuring environmental justice.
