Dr Charlie Wilson, from UEA’s Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, has been awarded €1,598,465 to study the digitisation of daily life and its impact on climate change. Digitalisation is a major trend that is reshaping our lives – from videoconferencing to smartphone apps for just about everything. Dr Wilson’s four-year project will investigate how these changes in our everyday lives can help reduce carbon emissions and support global efforts to tackle climate change.
