The drive to "level up" is a global trend among policymakers with the aim of creating fairer and more equitable opportunities for all. But, if poorly implemented without the right stakeholders, tools, data and funding, these policies have the opposite effect of creating greater inequality and environmental degradation. How can universities partner most effectively with other sectors to ensure programmes effectively create more sustainable, safe and healthy communities?

Professor Mohammad Nurunnabi highlighted that inequality is ever increasing in research output and collaboration between developed and developing countries. To address climate action, all parties need to work together and universities have a significant role to play on this agenda.
