25. Reducing climate change through the UK Data Service

Theme: Environmental impact and sustainability

Presenters: Deepti Kulkarni and Andrea Munson

People across the globe have been increasingly drawn to discussions on climate change and what they can do to lower their contribution to it. The UK Data Service makes international data available which has been used to underpin research in this area. We offer access to the rich seams of International Energy Agency (IEA) data to researchers and students in higher and further education. The IEA data includes breakdowns on different energy use, including electricity, oil, coal, natural gas and renewables, alongside data on greenhouse gas emissions and world energy balances, prices and statistics.
