Transition to Zero Pollution

Transition to Zero Pollution is one of the flagship initiatives of Imperial’s Academic Strategy.

The initiative fosters systems-thinking, discovery science, transformational cross-disciplinary research, technology and innovation to create and translate holistic socio-technical solutions to pollution in all its forms, including carbon dioxide. It aims to build on work being done to tackle greenhouse gas emissions and deliver net-zero carbon, and go beyond that to build a sustainable zero pollution future.

Transition to Zero Pollution brings together researchers across Imperial and builds new partnerships that connect disciplines, from fundamental science and engineering to systems thinking, human health, new business models, and policymaking. We want to instil a holistic, zero pollution mindset among our researchers and inspire current and future students. Imperial is working with key stakeholders to make sure that our research is translated into effective policy and solutions for industry and benefits across society.
