A team led by Professor Piers Forster and Dr Chris Smith at the University of Leeds has developed an ultra-fast computer model that gives us a clearer picture of our future climate.

The model has transformed our understanding of the connection between global temperatures and the amount of emissions we release into the atmosphere.

This research has helped shape the global discourse on tackling climate change.

It has played a crucial role in informing international climate policies linked to the Paris Agreement and helped nations to enshrine net zero emissions targets into law.

Piers and Chris received the Societal Impact Award in the NERC Impact Awards 2023, which shine a spotlight on the UK science at the heart of the responsible management of our planet. The awards celebrate NERC-funded scientists, as individuals or teams, whose work has had a big impact on the environment, economy or society.
