World leaders, climate scientists and policymakers will meet in Dubai from 30 November to 12 December at the 28th Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP28). Confirming their commitment to tackling climate change is the key output anticipated around the world from this event. Cranfield University's work in all eight thematic areas – Aerospace, Manufacturing and Materials, Transport Systems, Defence and Security, Environment and Agrifood, Energy and Sustainability, Water and Management – is relevant to COP. As a global university with students from more than 100 countries, sustainability is evident in all our educational and research programmes. Playing our part in transitioning the economy to a low or zero carbon future is paramount.
Cranfield University is a specialist postgraduate university with over 70 years’ experience as a global leader for education and transformational research in technology and management. We are recognised for delivering outstanding research addressing contemporary global challenges, such as climate change, with economic, environmental and social impact for business, government and wider society.
Our students are taught not just the theory, but the practical application. When they leave us they are ready, from day one, to step into the world of work and help create a better and more sustainable environment for the future.
