  1. PODCAST: Sustainability in Business
    Description
    Ben is joined by guest host Gabrielle Bunn to talk sustainability, bringing the social sciences into big projects for everyone's benefit and more with Judy Muthuri and Hannah Noke from the University of Nottingham and Daniela Salite from Aston University.
  2. VIDEO: Blue-Green cities
    Description
    Dr Emily O'Donnell explains why blue-green infrastructure is vital not just for the environment and to combat climate change, but also to create pleasant spaces and benefit the health and well-being of our communities.
  3. Video: Children, future generations and climate change law
    Description
    Professor Aoife Nolan explains why the rights of children are essential to developing effective laws, policies, and programmes to counteract climate change.
  4. Blog: Impacts of transitioning to Net Zero
    Description
    Achieving Net Zero requires pivoting away from fossil fuels, but the economic risks of an abrupt or unplanned transition are enormous. Success demands that governments understand and manage the impact on the oil and gas industry, argues Hafez Abdo.
  5. Video: Unwrapping food supply chains
    Description
    In this short video series, Dr Anne Touboulic and Dr Lucy McCarthy unwrap their knowledge of food supply chains to explore some of the factors that go into food supply chains and some of the changes that can help to create a more sustainable system for the future.
  6. Blog: Building more effective tools for environmental education
    Description
    Educational resources that target children's sense of agency are key in supporting behavioural change. To combat climate change we need to understand how to design and implement these into the curriculum most effectively, argues Jonathan Halls.
  7. News: Impact of climate change on future generations
    Description
    Prof Simon Gosling summarises the findings and significance of a longer research paper he co-authored. The research demonstrates the impact that climate change will have on future generations, clearly demonstrating the need for fast action by governments and policy makers to limit emissions and avert crisis.
  8. Short article: Enterprise, communities and climate change: the mobilisation of ideas
    Description
    Entrepreneurship can be just as much about responding to pressing challenges as it is about creating wealth. At the Haydn Green Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, current research shows how responsible entrepreneurship can change behaviours to reduce carbon usage within those communities most affected by climate change.
  9. Short article: Blue-greening cities for climate change adaptation
    Description
    The risk of flooding is becoming ever more serious, both in the UK and across the globe, and the challenge of protecting our homes and cities is becoming increasingly important. Emily's research explores how cities, neighbourhoods and communities might increase their resilience to the impacts of climate change (particularly flooding) and what role blue-green infrastructure can play in mitigating flood risk while providing wider benefits to the environment and society.
  10. Short article: Assessing the effects of a changing climate on women and girls
    Description
    As reported by UN Women, women and girls face an abundance of amplified social and economic threats compounded by the impacts of climate change.
