Cambridge Zero to host two research symposia to discuss critical climate change challenges
One in ten early deaths could be prevented if everyone managed at least half the recommended level of physical activity, say a team led by researchers at the University of Cambridge.
Free online tools built by Cambridge researchers are helping planners design exercise into our towns and cities.
