Existing fossil fuel projects are sufficient to meet projected energy demands in a global transition to net zero emissions, finds a new study by researchers from UCL and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD). Their policy paper, published in Science , argues that stopping new fossil fuel projects is a crucial step for countries to achieve their climate goals.

Social prescriptions for activities such as gardening, fishing, attending museums, as well arts & sports clubs are to be offered to children and adolescents who report high levels of loneliness or low community connection as part of a new four-year project led by UCL researchers.

The release of captive bred Arabian leopards carefully selected for their genes could make a significant contribution to the successful recovery of the Critically Endangered wild population and avert extinction, according to new research involving UCL. An international team of scientists, from the University of Kent, University of East Anglia, UCL, Nottingham-Trent University and the Diwan of Royal Court in Oman, surveyed the remote Dhofar mountain range of southern Oman to determine how many of Arabia's last big cat survive.

Five new views of the Universe have been released today, captured by the European Space Agency's Euclid telescope, whose massive optical camera was designed and built by an international team led by UCL researchers.

UCL researchers are to partner with RISE, Research Institutes of Sweden, to explore how the human brain interacts with built environments, and how understanding this can help design sustainable surroundings that enhance people's health and wellbeing.

Professor Mark Maslin (UCL Geography) and Professor Sanjay Sisodiya (UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology) argue in The Conversation that the global scale of those with neurological and psychiatric conditions that could be adversely affected by climate change is huge.

Climate change, and its effects on weather patterns and adverse weather events, is likely to negatively affect the health of people with brain conditions, argue a UCL-led team of researchers.

Considerable progress has been made in curbing the trade of big cat-derived products in South Korea, but some illegal trade remains, reports a new study led by a UCL researcher. Published in PLOS ONE , the study by international conservation charity ZSL, UCL and the Tiger and Leopard Conservation Fund in Korea (KTLCF) heralds a major success for conservation action to protect endangered tigers and leopards, while warning of the ongoing risk of small-scale illegal trade within the country.

A new BBC documentary, The Jennings vs Alzheimer's, explores the discoveries made by researchers at UCL and UCLH that have given hope for Alzheimer's disease over the past four decades, and the very special family that helped make it happen.

Professor Mark Maslin's (UCL Geography) research reveals that before northern Africa dried out, its climate "flickered" between two stable climatic states. In The Conversation he urges us to look out for signals of future climate tipping points. Around five and half millenia ago, northern Africa went through a dramatic transformation.
