The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has seven contributors from Exeter; more than any other university in the world.

Climate change is acknowledged by scientists, governments, businesses and social, environmental and economic organisations as the greatest challenge of our time. It presents a fascinating and urgent set of challenges and opportunities for today’s practitioners, policy makers and researchers. There is a growing demand for knowledge and expertise in all aspects of climate change:

  • the science of climate systems and human influences on natural processes
  • the history of past climate change and the trajectory of climate projections over the next hundred years or longer
  • the vulnerability of human and natural systems around the world
  • the practical and policy responses we need to manage the risks and tackle the causes
  • the links with the wider imperatives of sustainable development

We went on a trip to Brixham Harbour for a day to look around the local fishery and talk to fishermen about their experience with issues such as bycatch and juvenile discards. It gave us the opportunity to see these issues from a different perspective and attempt to think of ways in which we could work with fishermen to solve them.
