SHARE THIS RESEARCH
We are keen for the results of our research to be disseminated as widely as possible and we are open to writing tailored articles for media and industry outlets. We are also interested in developing a second phase of this research to delve further into the impacts of the pledges and we would be interested in seeking funding to help facilitate this.
