The Department of Energy and Climate Change, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Natural Environment Research Council have jointly launched a research programme to produce evidence to inform climate change policy.
The two-year programme, called AVOID 2, follows a first phase of the research carried out in the AVOID programme. The programme started in 2009 and was designed to answer questions from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
AVOID 2 will focus on six research areas tackling critical knowledge gaps that have direct relevance to policy discussions in the run up to the UNFCCC meeting to be held in Paris in 2015, according to statement from NERC.
