The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) is an independent, not-for-profit research institute delivering science to understand and address environmental challenges, including nutrient sustainability. Our work includes research on the global nitrogen and phosphorus cycles, providing evidence to support sustainable resource management and policy. UKCEH led the landmark report Our Phosphorus Future, a NERC/UNEP supported global assessment of phosphorus use, challenges, and solutions across food, water, and waste systems. We also coordinate the GEF/UNEP-funded uPcycle project, which develops pathways for phosphorus recovery and reuse, and led the global International Nitrogen Management System (INMS) project, shaping policy and practice for sustainable nitrogen management.

Our research underpins national to international policy, from informing EU strategies and regulatory frameworks to contributing to UN Environment Assembly resolutions on sustainable nitrogen and phosphorus management. We work closely with governments, global agencies, and stakeholders to ensure that science is translated into effective action. We are joining ESPP to strengthen collaboration across sectors, contribute science-based insights on phosphorus governance, and support collective action towards nutrient sustainability.
