Sustainable Development Research Group

Our research examines how societies can adopt more sustainable lifestyles that mitigate environmental harm, poverty, and social inequality.

Who we are


We explore topics that contribute to sustainable lifestyles, such as pollution, climate change, energy transition, corruption, human capital, inequality, and underdevelopment.

Employing theoretical and empirical methodologies, our research aims to provide innovative findings and practical solutions relevant to both academic and non-academic audiences.

Our members’ work supports global efforts to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals and promote environmentally and socially responsible behaviours across society.

Research themes

Our research covers five broad areas:

  • Climate change, environment and sustainability
  • Energy and green technology
  • Inequality, labour and development
  • Political economy, governance and institutions
  • Health, behaviour and society
