“As universities, and as a community, we are working together to tip the scales towards positive change. We are immensely proud of the outstanding work of our research communities in the area of climate change. According to a recent Reuters list, the University of Exeter has the UK’s five most influential climate scientists – all in the top 21 in the world.   The city of Exeter, with the University and our partners at the Met Office, is clearly a globally-recognised hub of research and innovation in climate science. ENSURE is pioneering, and brings together our strengths with the wealth of expertise at CUHK. Together we have a unique opportunity to provide transformative solutions and make a real difference worldwide.”

“CUHK is committed to addressing the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the betterment of Hong Kong and the worldwide community. We are proud to establish ENSURE with the University of Exeter, a member of the elite Russell Group of leading research-intensive universities in the UK which commands a leading position in climate, health, and environmental research. With strong expertise from both universities, I am confident that we will be able to find solutions to sustain a liveable environment and to ensure safe access to food, water, and air in the coming century.”
