The Liverpool Research Institute for Climate and Sustainability (LiRICS) aims to accelerate interdisciplinary sustainability (especially climate action) research with impactful solutions for economic, legal, educational, environmental, and infrastructural systems.
In 2020 we declared a climate emergency, and in 2022 published our Climate Action Plan. Actions within this plan were split into five themes: leadership, teaching, research, campus management, and community. The plan was split into three phases up until 2035.
