About

We are a world-leading climate centre based at the University of Leeds. From local to global, we ensure that climate action is informed by the latest research, collaborating with organisations and individuals to transform our expertise into real-world impact.

The scope and scale of climate change are vast and complex, and no single area of expertise or small group of people can tackle it alone.

At the Priestley Centre, we bring together a community of experts from across disciplines including engineering, finance, health, economics, cultural studies, law, and atmospheric sciences.

By connecting this expertise, and working in partnership with external organisations, we are able to address a range of climate challenges and provide evidence to drive the action required to secure a safe future for us all.
