This is the highlights of recorded seminar on the topic of Climate Change, Inequality, and Health which took place online last June 2, 2021 with guests Ronnie Murungu, Batsirai Muruju, and Paul Hunter hosted by Jo Greere and Roger Few.

This seminar focuses on inequalities of health risk. Climate change threatens to exacerbate health issues across the globe, but the impacts will not be evenly spread either between or within countries. They are likely to be experienced most acutely by those already facing poor environmental health conditions and denied access to adequate health care. At the start of 2020, the climate change community was hopeful that, following the widespread declarations of climate emergencies in 2019, the year would herald new momentum in the fight against climate change. That was not to be, however, as COVID 19 spread globally with devastating impacts. Whilst many in the Global North call for a green recovery from the pandemic, in the Global South, COVID comes on top of the climate crisis. The pandemic clearly demonstrates the need for universal access to affordable and reliable water, sanitation and hygiene services, as well as more equitable access to health services. At the same time the pandemic overlaid on the climate crisis will make it more challenging for this transition to be achieved and highlight the need for greater community and service delivery resilience to extreme weather events and other crises. This seminar will reflect on how the COVID crisis has overlaid the climate crisis and explore how to address issues of health inequality and climate action in the post-COVID recovery.

This is the highlights of recorded seminar on the topic of Climate Change, Inequality, and Energy which took place online last May 26, 2021 with guest Pierre Telep hosted by Dr. Sarah Mander, Vanessa Mukoro, and Christopher Walsh of Tyndall Manchester.

This seminar reflects on challenges of providing energy access to all, including issues of inequality, and energy access policies for climate finance, development finance and leveraging private sector finance on access.

For this episode of the Tyndall Talks, we have the highlights of a  recorded seminar on the topic of Climate Change, Inequality, and Conservation with guests Dr. Karen Wong-Perez of IIED and Prof. Patrcia Balvanera of UNAM, hosted by Dr. Rachel Carmenta.

Whilst climate conservation interventions present an opportunity for tackling climate change, conservation and development, they may also pose risks to local communities. Given the increasing interest in nature based solutions in the international policy arena, it is imperative that interventions do not extenuate the vulnerabilities of rural populations and instead enhance the resilience and well-being of the communities they impact. This seminar will address and critically reflect on some of the challenges posed, and harvest lessons learned from past and present experiences in climate conservation interventions.

For this episode of the Tyndall Talks, we have part of a  recorded seminar on the topic of Climate Change, Inequality, and Adaptation  with guests Prof. Silja Klepp, Dr. Georgina Cundill Kemp, and Daniel Morchain hosted by Dr. Mark Tebboth.

That the impacts of climate change will unduly affect the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world is well established.  This episode critically explores issues of adaptation and inequality and ask how we can create conditions where the needs of disempowered populations are more fairly and justly included in adaptation work.

This episode talks about the psychology of climate change. How do we change people’s behaviours in line with sustainability? Do individual actions matter and if it does, what actions can we do in our everyday lives to contribute to a low-carbon future? What kind of messages should we use to encourage people to change their behaviours?

We have two guests in this episode: Prof. Lorraine Whitmarsh of University of Bath and Stuart Capstick of Cardiff University. They are also both leading the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations (CAST), a sister Centre of the Tyndall Centre.

In this episode, James and Charlotte from Tyndall Manchester chat with Kevin Anderson, his experience in climate change research  both in Sweden and the UK, working on carbon budgets, and working with Greta Thunberg. What is a carbon budget and how much more carbon dioxide can we emit to keep global warming at two degrees Celsius? What is Kevin's experience working with Greta Thunberg? What are some key actions we can take to help prevent climate change?

In this episode we talk about the impacts of Brexit on climate and environment policies.  The UK has now formally left the EU and just before Christmas of 2020, the two sides struck a new trade and cooperation agreement.  What does all this mean for climate and environment policies in the UK and in the EU? Our guest is Professor Andy Jordan from the Tyndall Centre at the University of East Anglia and the co-chair of Brexit&Environment - an ESRC funded knowledge network.

In this episode produced by Tyndall Manchester, we speak with Prof. Alice Larkin about shipping and aviation and how we can reduce the emissions of these industries. Can sails be the technology of the future? Is it worse to fly during day or night? Is carbon offsetting not as good for the planet as what we think? This episode is hosted by Charlotte Brown and James Mason.

In this episode, we are going to talk about post-COVID recovery. With a vaccine in sight,  many countries are starting planning on how to make their economies recover from COVID impacts. Studies have shown that during lockdown, carbon emissions have dropped. Can we sustain this? How can we rebuild economies in a greener way? Our guest for today is Professor Charlie Wilson from the Tyndall Centre at the University of East Anglia.
