Projects

We carry out a wide range of projects promoting responsible science and technology. They range from research to policy and education. As an example, we were part of the campaign awarded the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize. Our current projects are listed on the left of this page and can also be explored using the search function.

This page lists SGR's main outputs on the carbon footprint of sport, including reports and articles. There is a particular focus on the role of high-carbon sponsorship and air travel. 

SGR's project work in this area focuses on: military carbon emissions; comparisons between resources used for military activities and for tackling climate change; military greenwash; and the links between climate change and conflict.
