Ireland, the UK, and Northern Ireland are teaming up to fight climate change by focusing on sustainable agriculture and biodiversity loss, the Guardian reports.
The three countries have each committed $70 million to two new research centers: one in Dublin focused on climate change, biodiversity loss, and water degradation, and the other in Belfast on sustainable and resilient food systems.
"It is clear from the scientific evidence that business as usual is no longer an option, and we are delighted to be working with forward thinking and progressive industry partners," Yvonne Buckley, co-director of the Climate+ center at Trinity College Dublin, says in a press release.
Researchers at both centers will work with other universities to achieve "fair transformations to Net Zero, reverse biodiversity loss, restore water quality, and ensure resilience for communities and a sustainable economy," according to the press release.
Climate+ will focus on "food system integrity and resilience, food safety and integrity, food safety and healthy diets from sustainable sources, food systems data modeling,Nutrition and health," and food safety and integrity, the co-director of the Belfast center says.
