Tom interviews Jay Chard, a PhD student from the University of South Wales who is researching the role universities play in a just climate transition. 

Together Tom and Jay discuss the terminology used by climate scientists, they explore the meaning behind climate justice and debate the role universities play in helping to adapt during ecological, environmental, social and economic change.

Are universities complicit in climate breakdown? What is their role in fighting climate change? And are universities preparing their students to deal with the challenges climate change brings?
