Dr Eugene Mohareb’s work at the University of Reading focuses on research and teaching related to urban sustainability through resource efficiency and global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mitigation. His research is centred on the investigation of the important role of cities in both the developed and developing world in reducing GHG emissions. This includes the use of urban metabolism to examine topics such as scenario modelling of local GHG emissions, urban contributions to reductions in food system GHG emissions, and the adoption of low-carbon technologies, especially domestic retrofits. Ultimately, his research uses quantitative sustainability assessments to contribute to the evidence base used in setting policy goals for low-carbon economies.
