Accelerating shipping decarbonisation: A case study on UK shore power.

Shore power connects ships to land-side electricity grids, cutting fuel use in port to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and air pollution. It also enables the transition towards greater use of electric vessels. Despite these benefits, the global deployment of shore power is slow, particularly in countries such as the UK.

Engaging stakeholders in research to address water-energy-food (WEF) nexus challenges.

The water-energy-food (WEF) nexus has become a popular, and potentially powerful, frame through which to analyse interactions and interdependencies between these three systems. Though the case for transdisciplinary research in this space has been made, the extent of stakeholder engagement in research remains limited with stakeholders most commonly incorporated in research as end-users. Yet, stakeholders interact with nexus issues in a variety of ways, consequently there is much that collaboration might offer to develop nexus research and enhance its application.
