Abstract
Humans have massively altered flows of nitrogen on our planet, leading to both benefits for food production and multiple threats to the environment. There are few places on Earth more affected than South Asia, with levels of nitrogen pollution rapidly increasing. The result is a web of interlinked problems, as nitrogen losses from agriculture and from fossil fuel combustion cause air and water pollution. This damages human health, threatens biodiversity of forests and rivers, and leads to coastal and marine pollution that exacerbates the effects of climate change, such as by predisposing reefs to coral bleaching. Altogether, it is clear that nitrogen pollution is something we should be taking very seriously.
The amazing thing is that so few people have heard of the problem. Everyone knows about climate change and carbon footprints, but how many people are aware that nitrogen pollution is just as significant? One reason for this is that scientists and policy makers have traditionally specialised. Different experts have focused on different parts of the nitrogen story, and few have the expertise to see how all the issues fit together.
This challenge is taken up by a major new research hub established under the UK Global Challenge Research Fund. The "GCRF South Asian Nitrogen Hub" is a partnership that brings together 32 leading research organisations with project engagement partners from the UK and South Asia. All eight countries of the South Asia Co-operative Environment Programme (SACEP) are included. The hub includes research on how to improve nitrogen management in agriculture, saving money on fertilizers and making better use of manure, urine and natural nitrogen fixation processes. It highlights options for more profitable and cleaner farming for India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and the Maldives. At the same time, the hub considers how nitrogen pollution could be turned back to fertilizer, for example by capturing nitrogen oxide gas from factories and converting it into nitrate.
The fact that all the SACEP countries are included is really important. It means that lessons can be shared on good experiences as well as on whether there are cultural, economic and environmental differences that prevent better management practices from being adopted. It is also important from the perspective of international diplomacy, and provides an example to demonstrate how working together on a common problem is in everyone's interest. It puts the focus on future cooperation for a healthier planet, rather than on the past.
The South Asian case provides for some exciting scientific, social, cultural and economic research challenges. The first is simply to get all the researchers talking together and understanding each other. There are dozens of languages in South Asia, matching the challenge met when different research disciplines come together. This is where developing a shared language around nitrogen can really help. There are lots of nitrogen forms ranging from unreactive atmospheric nitrogen (N2), to the air pollutants ammonia (NH3) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), to nitrate (NO3-) which contaminates watercourses, and nitrous oxide (N2O) which is a greenhouse gas. The impacts of each of these are being studied to provide a better understanding of how they all fit together.
The result is an approach that aims to give a much more coherent picture of the nitrogen cycle in South Asia: What is stopping us from taking action, and what can be done about it. One of the big expectations is that the economic value of nitrogen will help. India alone spends around £6 billion per year subsidising fertilizer supply. It means that South Asian governments are strongly motivated to use nitrogen better. At which point research from the South Asian hub can provide guidance on where they might start.

Planned Impact
The GCRF South Asian Nitrogen Hub connects four key sectors to ensure long-term impact: a) It engages with POLICYMAKERS through the intergovernmental South Asia Co-operative Environment Programme (SACEP); b) It brings together a network of VILLAGE engagement across South Asia; c) It promotes wider CIVIL SOCIETY engagement by "twinning" NGO nitrogen forums; d) It builds on existing partnerships with key BUSINESS forums. Multi-actor feedback will stimulate further impact initiatives, supported by workshops, while a substantial flexibility budget will facilitate research innovation.
HUB CO-DESIGN: The hub adopts a theory-of-change that starts with the nature of the problem, uses co-design with key stakeholders to identify the research needs, and works with the actors and mobilization platforms needed to effect change. At its heart is the challenge of overcoming fragmentation across policies, practice, science and communication about the nitrogen cycle. The co-design process started with workshops between the International Nitrogen Initiative (INI) chair, the INI South Asian Nitrogen Centre and SACEP in 2013, 2015 and 2016. The joint workshop of SACEP governments and the International Nitrogen Management System (INMS) in Malé (Sept. 2017) was a key step which identified the major goals and research priorities. These were refined at the UN Environment Assembly (UNEA-3), with the recent SACEP Governing Council (March 2018) confirming a draft 'Nitrogen Resolution' from Malé to be submitted to UNEA-4.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL PARTNERSHIPS: Pathways to impact and long-term durability are underpinned by embedding the GCRF Hub within INMS, which has recently been established by UN Environment and INI, with 5-year financing through the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
There are three scales with mutual feedback:
A) INMS will be a key receiving body for the hub research results, enabling the results to be embedded into the first International Nitrogen Assessment (2022), into INMS guidance documentation and into support for policy.
B) The SACEP / INMS / UN Environment link will enable the hub to reach global partners, including the Task Force on Reactive Nitrogen of the UNECE Geneva Air Convention, the UNEP-led GPA on land-marine environmental protection, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the UNFCCC (e.g. Koronivia Joint Work), the Vienna Convention on Stratospheric Ozone (relevant for N2O), OECD and UN Agenda 2030 on the Sustainable Development Goals.
C) The consensus building through SACEP will allow South Asia to champion hub outcomes to UNEA and globally (e.g., World Environment Day, New Delhi 2018; proposed 2020 Nitrogen Summit, Berlin; concept for the Inter-convention Nitrogen Coordination Mechanism - 'UN Nitrogen').
FARMER, CIVIL SOCIETY & BUSINESS: The co-design process draws on piloting experience from the NEWS India-UK centre, providing key pathways-for-impact with local communities and wider civil society. An IARI-led pilot in Mumtazur, Haryana provides a basis to co-design manure and urine approaches. It links farmer priorities and concerns with scientific evidence, and considering social, cultural and religious factors. This approach will be replicated across the hub, allowing lessons to be shared with SACEP, business and wider-civil society. Civil society "twinning" will focus on multi-actor engagement at a city/regional scale, piloted by "Nourish Scotland" and the "Sustainable India Trust", with lessons informing extension to other South Asian contexts. Business engagement will be facilitated through INMS partners (inc. Fertilizer Association of India, International Fertilizer Association, BASF) and the 'Cool Farm Alliance' (esp. food-system companies) and the KITT Business Incubator. Activities will inform priority setting, and better understanding of how contrasting aspirations of citizens (e.g. dietary choice) may reciprocally influence the developed world and South Asia in future trajectories.

Description | • Significant new knowledge generated; The hub has increase science policy understanding between the research community and governments, building capacity in the region and in the UK, with major policy outputs. • New or improved research methods or skills developed; The hub is developing improved skills in nitrogen flux and concentrations measurements across South Asia, as well as building modelling capability. • Important new research resources identified; The hub is mobilizing investment from many partners to co-fund core hub activities. This includes a developing network of associated PhD students being funded by partner resources. The European Commission has also supported the work in developing a Nitrogen Guidance Document on "Integrated Sustainable Nitrogen Management" for the UNECE, with the aim that this is adopted, allowing it to ultimately enter EU policy as a key intergovernmental resource. • Important new research questions opened up; The interdisciplinary approach is outlined in the relevant section, which highlights the innovative hypotheses. • Significant negative results and/or research paths closed off; None yet. • Particularly noteworthy new research networks/collaborations/partnerships, or combinations of these; The whole thing in innovative: multiple disciplines of researchers coming together with multiple stakeholders (policy, business, rural and urban civil society) coming together to address the nitrogen challenge that links most of the Sustainable Development Goals. The intergovernmental agreement in the Colombo Declaration (mobilized by the hub) to with the "ambition to halve nitrogen waste by 2030" as rapid follow up to the UNEA-4 Resolution on Sustainable Nitrogen Management (UNEP/EA.4/Res.14) represent major achievements where the hub is catalysing global intergovernmental action. • Increased research capability generated from training delivered in specialist skills; This is in development: A Massive On-Line Open Course (MOOC) is published in English and now being translated into South Asian Languages. Several training courses in measurement methods have already been started. • Summary information combining outcomes detailed in other sections. The GCRF South Asian Nitrogen hub is spearheading research and policy development for nitrogen, where the regional approach is catalysing global action for the Sustainable Development Goals. The achievement of a UN resolution (UNEP/EA.Res.14), a substantive intergovernmental agreement with a clear target (halve nitrogen waste, Colombo Declaration) and the sharing of this between a Head of State and head of the UN demonstrate the high level impact. |
Exploitation Route | Co-development for the hub over the last five years has established a strong multi-actor network, which simultaneously provides the key to achieving lasting impact. This applies both to the hub's role in catalysing transformational change toward the SDGs and to its transforming academic impact. The primary enabling platforms and actor groups are A) the nitrogen research community, B) governmental and intergovernmental actors (policy, politics and diplomatic perspective), C) wider civil society (inc. city perspective), D) villages (small scale - rural perspective) and E) business (multi-scale international perspective). The starting point for durable impact is the role of the nitrogen research community as a broker of technical knowledge. This is focused on stimulating a better-informed dialogue between the actor groups, as a basis to improve mutual understanding and develop shared goals. However, in order for the hub to really make a difference, it is vital to recognize the opportunities and limitations of the different platforms, to be ready for the opportune moments, and to prioritize engagement efficiently. |

Description | • Economic and societal impact of the award on the DAC list country/countries. Poor nitrogen management is currently responsible for adverse affects relevant across multiple sustainable development issues, such as air pollution, water pollution, greenhouse gas emission, loss of biodiversity, stratospheric ozone, human health and economy. Overall, nitrogen losses account globally are worth c. 200 billion USD annually. This is in addition to the economic costs of environmental, health and climate threats. The GCRF South Asian Nitrogen Hub is mobilizing better nitrogen management at a regional scale as a contribution to championing global action. A key illustration of impact is the recent agreement catalysed by the hub in the form of the Colombo Declaration, agreed by governments of 14 countries in October 2019. The declaration has taken up the narrative developed by the International Nitrogen Initiative, under the lead of the hub director, to "Halve Nitrogen Waste by 2030, saving 100 billion USD per year", as a contribution to clean air, clean seas, climate change and human wellbeing. The hub director launched this as a science commitment at the Our Oceans Conference (Bali, October 2018). The work of the hub has now allowed this ambition to be embraced by 14 countries within one year of its launch. The hub is now taking this forward with 8 DAC countries across South Asia, to mobilize action on the solutions needed to reach this goal. The vision is that these countries then become champions for global action through the developing Interconvention Nitrogen Coordination Mechanism (INCOM) with the support of the hub through the International Nitrogen Management System (INMS). • Impact on UK / non-DAC list countries Action on the hub is providing major advantages for UK researchers and policy makers. UK is already a lead country for global innovation on the nitrogen cycle. The hub is mixing researchers across disciplines building new ideas and connections enabling UK to push forward on its leading edge. At the same time, this is becoming a major resource for UK, and through UNEP countries globally in transforming management of the global nitrogen cycle to help meet the SDGs. • How the award has addressed any of the Sustainable Development Goals The hub is addressing most of the SDGs as summarized below. (This information is available diagramatically in the Summary Report "Nitrogen: Grasping the Challenge", prepared for the Colombo Nitrogen For Life event). The hub is addressing all of these in some way: • SDG 1: No Poverty: Nitrogen supports livelihoods by reducing nitrogen resource loss. • SDG 2: Zero Hunger: Nitrogen fertilizer efficiency and BNF to sustain global food production. • SDG 3: Good Health and Wellbeing: Improved health through better nitrogen air & water quality. • SDG 4: Quality Education: Education & training in Sustainable Nitrogen Management. • SDG 5: Gender Equality: Valuing nutrients in manure helps to address gender inequalities. • SDG 6: Clean Water & Sanitation: Decreased nitrate contamination of drinking water & rivers. • SDG 7: Affordable & Clean Energy: Bioenergy & biogas with reduced Nitrogen Footprint. • SDG 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth: Nitro-Finance to mobilize growth in the Circular Economy. • SDG 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure: Nitro-Innovation for resource recovery in air & water. • SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities: Widening access to cost-effective nitrogen resources. • SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities: Decreased nitrogen oxides (NOx) & PM2.5 improves urban air quality. • SDG 12: Responsible Production and Consumption: Nitrogen & healthy food: demitarian, vegetarian & other dietary options. • SDG 13: Climate Action: Less nitrous oxide (N2O) as a long-lived greenhouse gas. • SDG 14: Life Below Water: Less nitrogen water pollution helps protect reefs & avoid coastal dead zones. • SDG 15: Life on Land: Decreased ammonia (NH3) & NOx emissions help protect terrestrial biodiversity. • SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions: Nitrogen cooperation as a contribution to Environmental Diplomacy. • SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals: Strengthened partnerships through the Nitrogen Coordination Mechanism. • Gender related impact Gender has become a significant conversation throughout the hub in order to mobilize best practice within the context of developing equitable and ethical partnerships. The hub management structure has taken careful note to ensure a healthy gender contribution (both male and female co-leads) as well as to promote opportunities according to merit, while avoiding gender bias for young researchers. The research has highlighted gender relevant issues, where manure management has been characterized as a female activity and chemical fertilizers a male activity, in some regions. The implications are being further investigated. • Other Equality, Diversity and Inclusion related impacts The hub has established an ethical policy and ethical committee which is promoting equality and diversity throughout the hub, while paying attention to take account of any shortfalls of the where they may occur. Experience has been gained in managing poor relationships between individual researchers, where these have occurred, with a focus on ensuring an equitable and fair approach. |
