About us

As part of the UKRI strategic theme Building a Green Future, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) with the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) are supporting seven transdisciplinary hubs over 5 years from March 2025. Together forming the Net Zero Health Benefits Research (NZHR) Programme, these Hubs provide policy-relevant evidence and deliver high impact solutions-focused research and innovation to realise the co-benefits of the UK’s transition to net zero for the physical and mental health of the UK population. The NZHR network facilitates intra-hub networking, collaboration and collective impact, ensuring the UK’s transition to net zero also promotes physical and mental health and wellbeing, and reduces health inequalities.
