Where Technology Meets
Climate Action!
A growing portfolio of UK–Pakistan research collaborations tackling deforestation, energy transition, and climate resilience through AI, IoT, wireless sensing, and digital innovation.
ELCF advances support for a low-carbon economy through AI-enabled forecasting, IoT-based energy optimisation, and Digital Twin modelling for smart, climate-resilient cities. It is delivered jointly by Middlesex University London and BUITEMS Quetta, with Brunel University London as associate partner.
The programme runs across three phases and five core activities — from transformative research partnerships and joint technical workshops through to a permanent AI-enabled Knowledge Exchange Hub and a co-developed AI-IoT curriculum. Gender equality and inclusivity are embedded at every stage, with a minimum 40% female participation target across training and mentoring.
Wireless Sensor Networks
IoT and LoRa-based sensor deployments for real-time environmental monitoring in remote and resource-constrained settings.
Forest & Land Monitoring
Combating deforestation through autonomous detection of illegal logging, fire, and vegetation health degradation.
AI & Machine Learning
Deep learning and computer vision for environmental sensing, disease detection, and intelligent data processing.
Remote Sensing & GIS
Satellite imagery, ArcGIS and SUPARCO partnerships for landscape-scale vegetation and land-use analysis.
Low-Carbon Energy
Renewable energy integration, digital twin modelling, and energy system optimisation for climate-resilient communities.
Next-Gen Communications
6G antenna research (DMA prototypes), RF propagation in challenging environments, and connectivity for underserved regions.
