Centre for Climate and Environmental Resilience
The Centre for Climate and Environmental Resilience (CCER) is a transdisciplinary Centre of Excellence. We research the environmental and societal
issues caused by intensifying global change
We are now in an epoch in which human and natural systems are inextricably linked. Altered and degraded systems are having knock-on consequences for human societies and biodiversity.
Climate and environmental resilience
Climate and environmental change mean that our society and natural ecosystems need to be able to anticipate, prepare for and respond to hazardous events and disturbances. This means increasing resilience by assessing and coping with changes in risk. This challenge will need an integrated, transdisciplinary approach. We bring together experts from:
engineering
business
mathematics
physics
natural sciences
education
social science
Our centre provides a vital research base for taking appropriate action.

Our mission
Our mission is to deliver the solutions we need to increase climate and environmental resilience
through our expertise and international leadership. CCER acts as a catalyst for the creation of
a solutions-driven research programme
to address this challenge. To achieve this we must accelerate transdisciplinary working. We achieve this through:
world-class research
education
strong partnerships
Newcastle University leads interdisciplinary research programmes that aim to limit the impacts of climate change.
Climate action
The CCER is helping shape climate and environmental action. Turning policy into practice at all scales.
Our impact
Our research has an impact on fighting the effects of climate change and saving our environment at both a local and a global level.
Our research
We're researching ways to increase the resilience of our communities and environment to climate change.
Our research goals
We are pursuing our mission by:
developing the underpinning knowledge base
essential for solution-led research
informing policy and management responses
for the UK and global climate and environmental resilience
building partnerships
between government, industry and civil society to apply new knowledge
engaging the business sector
, from micro businesses to global corporations, ensuring healthy ecosystems for future generations
training the next generation
of transdisciplinary researchers in climate and environmental resilience
We are engaging businesses in taking responsibilities for ensuring a healthy global ecosystem. These range from micro and small businesses to global corporations.
We
work to support progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially
SDG13 (Climate Action)
SDG14 (Life below Water)
SDG15 (Life on Land)
Newcastle University also
leads the way in testing and implementing sustainable solutions
. This includes on campus and supporting the city’s journey towards a net zero status.
CCER also contributes towards goals set out in other
Newcastle University Centres of Research Excellence
