About the Centre

Both natural and human-induced changes are altering our environment at an unprecedented rate. These changes are having profound effects on our planet, its biodiversity, our health and our ability to live sustainably and equitably. 

ACE brings together a partnership of organisations supported by The University of Edinburgh to address how populations can effectively adapt to our changing environment.
