Aviva sponsors the Aviva/Earthwatch Europe Award for Climate Change Research. The award is granted to an individual field scientist, currently working with Earthwatch, who is carrying out research relating to the issues of climate change.

Climate change is a very important issue to both Earthwatch and Aviva, and because of this, Earthwatch and Aviva have expanded on their existing partnership through a new five year commitment to climate change research and community investment.

The specific research focus of this new phase in the partnership will be mangrove forests and their potential to make a significant contribution to carbon sequestration efforts, whilst at the same time providing important ecosystem and community services.
