A diverse group of members of the public, including those from under-represented communities, are helping to shape NERC’s healthy environment research priorities.
Between December 2020 and July 2021, 95 participants took part in several co-created online workshops at which they were able to:
• learn about NERC’s research on climate change, pollution, green spaces and the role of the environment in the spread of infectious disease
• use virtual reality to interact with different environments
• discuss and share ideas on what areas of research should be prioritised.
