Shipping in Changing Climates.

我们的愿景是创建一个与工业紧密联系的持久、多学科和独立的研究社区，并能够通过发展关于航运系统、其能源效率和排放以及向低碳、更具弹性的未来的过渡的新知识和理解，为政策制定过程提供信息。气候变化中的航运(SCC)是这一愿景的体现：一个由多所大学、多学科的领先英国学术机构组成的联盟，专注于解决相互关联的研究问题，这些问题源于考虑未来几十年航运可能因以下因素的变化而做出的反应：-气候(海平面上升，-监管气候(缓解和适应政策)-宏观经济气候(贸易增加、不同的贸易模式、更高的能源价格)基于RCUK能源方案在该领域的大量(约225万)投资：低碳航运和公海项目，这项研究将为航运的长期战略规划(商业和政策)提供至关重要的投入，使该行业能够在未来几十年过渡，同时最大限度地减少对其提供的基本全球服务(贸易、运输、经济增长、食品和燃料安全)的干扰。这一雄心勃勃的研究计划之所以能够实施，是因为该项目与政府各部门的航运利益相关者有着良好的联系。非政府组织和行业空间。超过35个组织发表了重要的支持声明，其中包括向该项目提供160万实物和16万现金，这证明了这一点。拥有这种广度知识和理解的利益相关者的承诺对以下两个方面都至关重要：-制定相关建议(LCS的所有第一级合作伙伴和许多第二级合作伙伴和其他人大量参与这项SCC建议的内容的制定)-确保使用能够最大限度提高其可信度的数据和经验进行研究，但重要的是-确保有一条直接途径影响该行业的所有关键治理和商业利益相关者。航运是一个全球行业，因此必须在全球范围内考虑其挑战。然而，为了提供研究重点，我们将集中应用我们的全球建模和分析，以了解气候变化对该系统的三个关键的特定次全球组成部分的影响：英国、小岛屿发展中国家和金砖国家航运。英国，由于其对资助者和参与我们项目的英国利益攸关方的重要性，金砖国家和小岛屿发展中国家由于对气候变化高度敏感而在政策辩论中发挥核心作用研究将通过三个相互作用的研究主题的研究来确保卓越：-船舶作为一个系统(了解提高供应方能源效率的范围)-贸易和运输需求(了解运输需求的趋势和驱动因素)-转型和演变(了解运输供需相互作用)-进行的研究将是定量和定性的，首次应用新的数据和建模技术，并被部署来回答一系列交叉(主题)研究问题。气候变化中的航运将使英国站在航运系统研究的国际前沿，并为英国和欧盟围绕其航运温室气体排放控制的辩论提供信息。

Our vision is to create an enduring, multidisciplinary and independent research community strongly linked to industry and capable of informing the policy making process by developing new knowledge and understanding on the subject of the shipping system, its energy efficiency and emissions, and its transition to a low carbon, more resilient future.Shipping in Changing Climates (SCC) is the embodiment of that vision: a multi-university, multi-disciplinary consortium of leading UK academic institutions focused on addressing the interconnected research questions that arise from considering shipping's possible response over the next few decades due to changes in: - climate (sea level rise, storm frequency) - regulatory climate (mitigation and adaptation policy) - macroeconomic climate (increased trade, differing trade patterns, higher energy prices) Building on RCUK Energy programme's substantial (~2.25m) investment in this area: Low Carbon Shipping and High Seas projects, this research will provide crucial input into long-term strategic planning (commercial and policy) for shipping, in order to enable the sector to transition the next few decades with minimum disruption of the essential global services (trade, transport, economic growth, food and fuel security) that it provides. The ambitious research programme can only be undertaken because of the project's excellent connection to shipping's stakeholders across the govt. non-govt and industry space. This is demonstrated by in excess of 35 organisations writing significant statements of support and including contributions to the project of 1.6m in-kind and 160k cash. The commitments of stakeholders with this breadth of knowledge and understanding is crucial both to: - Development of a relevant proposal (all Tier 1 partners of LCS and many Tier 2 and others were heavily involved in the development of the contents of this SCC proposal) - Ensuring that the research is undertaken using data and experience that can maximise its credibility, but importantly also - Guaranteeing a direct pathway to impact in all the key governance and commercial stakeholders of the sector.Shipping is a global industry and its challenges must therefore be considered in a global context. However, to provide focus for the research we will concentrate the application of our global modelling and analysis for understanding the impacts of changing climates on three key specific sub- global components of the system: UK, SIDS (Small Island Developing States) and BRICS shipping. The UK, for its importance to the funder and the UK stakeholders engaged in our project, the BRICS and SIDS because of their central role in the policy debate due to their high sensitivity to changing climates Research Excellence will be ensured through research across three interacting research themes: - ship as a system (understanding the scope for greater supply side energy efficiency) - trade and transport demand (understanding the trends and drivers for transport demand) - transitions and evolution (understanding transport supply/demand interactions) The research undertaken will be both quantitative and qualitative, apply for the first time new data and modelling techniques and be deployed to answer a series of cross cutting (themes) research questions. Shipping in Changing Climates will put the UK at the forefront internationally of research into the shipping system and inform the UK and EU debates around the control of its shipping GHG emissions.
