Our Four Key Themes
Energy

sustainable, secure supplies of fuels and electricity with minimum impact on
our climate.
Environment
Responding to the effects of global warming and achieving sustainable ‘one
planet’ living, despite the pressures from population growth and increased
living standards.
Education
Advising on what and how should we teach our children so that they can
enjoy a quality of life equal to or greater than today.
Transport
Providing data and ideas so that we can design a system that maximises the
positive benefits of trade and travel, yet minimises congestion and emissions.
