Addressing climate and environmental change through ambitious and fair international action is key to improving the health of people across the world. Quantifying environmental degradation from pollution or the destruction of nature can help to build an understanding of the long-term societal impacts of human activity on the environment, and how, in turn, human health is impacted.
NPL’s experts are working to identify the measurement needs and challenges associated with understanding the impacts of environmental degradation and pollution through:

The UK Government has set ambitious targets for transforming the UK’s energy system, outlined in the 10 Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, the Energy White Paper and the Clean Growth Strategy, which each provide a robust framework for how the UK can deliver on climate action and meet these targets.
NPL is working to deliver on these strategies. We support world-leading innovation, and our research is helping to drive cost reductions and ensure deployment of low-carbon technologies. NPL’s research is also increasing our understanding of emissions and pollution, and we are working to improve how we measure key climate variables both on the ground and from space.
NPL applies the latest advances in measurement science to make every stage of energy generation, transport and usage more efficient, safe and affordable, and to improve the quality of data available on the state of our climate and natural environment.
