Project summary

This PhD is affiliated to the JUST (Joined-Up Sustainability Transformations) Centre, a new multi-University consortium which brings together the Universities of Leeds, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester and Newcastle with partners in the policy, innovation, business, local government, community and voluntary sectors. JUST seeks to accelerate a just transition through coordinating research into action at all levels of society, to understand what works, where, why, and for whom. This PhD offers an exciting opportunity to join the Leeds-based team of JUST researchers and to collaborate with the wider JUST network, as well as other University of Leeds researchers working on climate justice and related topics.
