Professor Mark Reed from Fast Track Impact and SRUC will be co-hosting a session on impact culture with the Adaptation Research Alliance which is being launched by UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office at COP26. The session is co-hosted with the United Nations Environment Programme in the blue zone’s Peatland Pavilion. In addition to bringing together peatland researchers from around the world, the session will discuss the action research principles at the heart of the new Alliance and new research by Professor Reed on creating an “impact culture” in research institutions that seek to tackle the climate crisis.

In contrast to the majority of research conducted to date, which focusses on understanding problems and processes, the session will call for more demand-driven, results and solutions oriented research that is co-created with those who are likely to benefit from climate research, including local populations in the worst affected countries. Prof Reed’s new book, Impact Culture, will be published early next year, and calls for a radical shake-up of the way Universities are organised, so they can more effectively generate impact, rather than just producing academic articles and books. He was appointed a year ago next month to lead SRUC’s Thriving Natural Capital Challenge Centre, which seeks to support thriving rural communities through regenerative agriculture and conservation that tackles the climate crisis.

Really interesting article about impact culture in climate research! While taking a break from reading about Prof Reed's work, I found fortzone battle royale to be a great stress-reliever. Love how the article emphasizes solution-focused research and working with local communities - that's exactly the kind of practical approach we need for climate action.
From beginning to end, the service was flawless, and the Aerocity Escorts was polite and focused. It was an entire experience, not just a date.
I have read many articles on this topic, but this is one of the most impressive. Each paragraph has a very good investment in content and expression. I believe that anyone who reads it will feel satisfied like me. Thank you for such a valuable article. I hope you will continue to create more new, attractive and practical content. papa's freezeria
This is a really interesting article about impact culture in climate research! Prof Reed's focus on solution-oriented research makes so much sense. Speaking of unique presentations, I discovered this cool Gothic Text Generator online that helps make research titles stand out - it would be perfect for conference materials. Looking forward to seeing how universities transform their approach to create real-world impact beyond just publishing papers.
