Centre of Excellence
The Sussex Sustainability Research Programme is a Centre of Excellence. Our Centres of Excellence are drawing together world-leading experts and innovative approaches, creating a critical mass of knowledge, skills and training – and proving that a challenge is only impossible until it's done.
Research with Impact
With the help of SSRP seed-funding and support, our community continues to scale up their projects and drive impactful sustainability research. More recently, SSRP researchers secured a share of a
- $8 million external grant to ramp up successful climate adaptation and resilience solutions across the Greater Horn of Africa;
- £761,000 ESRC award to support pathways towards an integrated, environmental just landscape of conservation in Peruvian Amazonia;
- DEFRA funding of £12.5 million to work with Kew Science on nature-based solutions for climate change at the landscape level;
- and a £1.3 million UKRI Fellowship to continue work on increasing pollinator-friendly habitats, biodiversity and urban food production.
Sussex academics secure share of large $8 million external grant to ramp up successful climate adaptation and resilience research
Building on previous interdisciplinary research, including SSRP-funded projects, the $1 million Canadian dollar grant awarded to Pedram Rowhani received through the CLARE initiative will allow the project team to address research gaps by co-developing early action plans with pastoral communities and local institutions in Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan, Uganda and Kenya. Using predictive multi-hazard impact-based forecasts, the project aims to strengthen ‘PAStoral livelihoodS in the African Greater horn through Effective anticipatory action’.
