Since September 2012, the Institute for Sustainability Solutions Research (ISSR) has been working closely with the Low Carbon City Team at Plymouth City Council (PCC) to ensure that opportunities for research collaboration are realised.
This has resulted in collaboration on a number of ISSR projects and other project opportunities. However, it has been recognised that much of this collaboration has been reactive in nature. Hence, the partnership was keen to develop a proactive approach, setting out some of the key local sustainability issues for Plymouth and the related research questions and action learning opportunities.
