Our work is critical.
Climate change is exacerbating natural disasters and amplifying humanitarian crises. In this an era of global polycrisis– where ecological, political, and economic threats converge - communities around the world are facing compounding existential impacts.
There are no current means of systematically channeling, or even reliably discovering, existing talent across disciplines and academic units in the UC System. UCDRN provides this channel, answering the need for dynamic solutions by driving innovation across and beyond the world’s leading public research university system.
