We're working together across South Yorkshire in support of a just and sustainable transition to net-zero for the Region. Through research, we are focussing on three of the highest-emitting and most difficult to decarbonise areas of the South Yorkshire economy.
The South Yorkshire Sustainability Centre is an interdisciplinary research centre made up of three core partners; the University of Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam University and the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority. Get in touch with us for more information on how to get involved.
Exploring how the Region could decarbonise home heating and transport whilst also improving our living conditions and travel journeys
Exploring how changes to the way we produce, consume and dispose of food could reduce its environmental impact
Exploring the technologies and support structures needed to assist industry and businesses transition to net-zero
Working differently is at the heart of what we do.
We believe that partnerships, collaboration and knowledge exchange will help us to contribute robust, data driven and evidence-based solutions to the region’s sustainability challenges.
Our novel approach of connecting research together with policy ambition will act as a catalyst to drive forward a just transition to net-zero in South Yorkshire.
Our way of working is interdisciplinary - we look at the big picture - so that our solutions bring the biggest benefits to the people, places and businesses of our region.

This report explains how SYSC was set-up and managed whilst also presenting its achievements and lessons learned from across the four years of operation.
This public consultation event aimed to link SYSC research outputs to the draft Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS).
We were excited to bring together members from the Dearne Valley Farmer Cluster to showcase the latest findings from two research projects.
'Retrofit and Residential Energy Systems: A stocktake' was a Festival of Debate event exploring the opportunities highlighted by recent national and local policy developments.
To achieve a just transition to net-zero, it is essential that we work together - we want to hear from prospective partners who may want to collaborate with us.
There are lots of ways that you can get involved in the work of the Centre.
