Comprised of leading climate researchers, the initiative works with decisionmakers to model climate policies adapted to specific geographical demands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The evening\u2019s launch event highlighted the goals of this new network, and shared hopes for Exeter Climate Policy\u2019s continued relationships with global industry partners and policymakers. Keynote speakers included the University of Exeter\u2019s Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Business Engagement and Innovation, Stuart Brocklehurst; senior climate economist at the World Bank and Co-Director of C3A, Etienne Espagne; and Director of Exeter Climate Policy, Professor Jean Francois Mercure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as celebrating the future of Exeter Climate Policy, the launch also offered some valuable insights into best practices when working with decisionmakers to implement climate policies. A core feature of the initiative is its use of specialist expertise to provide flexible support for economic transition. This helps ensure that all suggestions made are practical for the environment for which they were designed, working in harmony with existing infrastructures, adhering to available budgets, and demonstrating an awareness of political trends. Collaboration with policymakers was the message of the evening; establishing a dialogue rather than employing a unidirectional approach to research dissemination. Exeter Climate Policy hopes that by providing structured, yet adaptable support, resulting policies will have the maximum positive impact on our environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find out more about Exeter Climate Policy\u2019s work on their <a href=\"https:\/\/exeterclimatepolicy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 21st May, teacher leaders from across Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall came together for the\u00a0Equity in Education Mini-Conference, hosted by the South West Social Mobility Commission (SWSMC) and Policy@Exeter at the University of Exeter\u2019s Innovation Hub.
