NERC funds a diverse range of Scientific Support and Facilities, ensuring researchers have the tools they need to deliver world leading environmental science. Alongside the other Facilities, NEOF contributes to the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development through over £8 billion in research and Innovation.

The contribution of these services & facilities to the Global Goals shows their importance to the environment and wider society.
