Solutions for a warming world

Even if we cut all emissions tomorrow, the world will continue to warm. We are collaborating with scientists around the globe to investigate ways of removing greenhouse gases and cooling the planet. 

Together, we are building a suite of knowledge for informed decision-making. Paired with rapid emissions reduction, we hope to be able to protect our planet and our future.

What is the Centre for Climate Repair?

We are a research centre based at the University of Cambridge, bridging disciplines to develop a strong foundation of research on a variety of approaches to tackle climate change. Climate repair goes beyond emissions reduction: it involves actively removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, preserving the planet's ice, and potentially cooling the planet through sunlight reflection methods. 

At the Centre for Climate Repair, we are not tied to any one idea; rather, we are using rigorous scientific methods to assess each approach with the aim to learn which should - and which should not - be explored further. As well as the science, we are passionate about listening to and engaging with communities and policymakers and raising awareness about the breadth of actions needed to tackle climate change.

Is climate repair the breakthrough we’ve been waiting for — or just another overhyped idea? 
 

In association with the 2026 Cambridge Festival, join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion exploring whether techniques such as solar radiation management could play a serious role in tackling global warming, or if they risk distracting us from urgent emissions cuts.
