  1. SHORT ARTICLE: Faith for a Safe Climate Future
    Description
    The recent IPCC Working Group 1 report has made it clear that the climate crisis is not fundamentally a challenge of science but a challenge of our beliefs, commitments and actions. The UN Secretary General commented that "the evidence is irrefutable" and that the report sets out "a clear moral … imperative to protect the lives and livelihoods of those on the front lines of the climate crisis". With morality at the heart of the crisis, the question then arises: which organisations can help direct such action at the scale and speed required to avert climate catastrophe?
  2. PODCAST: Developing a sustainable food supply
    Description
    Anne Touboulic and Festo Massawe from Nottingham's Future Food Beacon discuss the impacts of climate change on global food supplies and what can be done to help.
  3. POLICY: Faith for a Safe Climate Future
    Description
    This brief explains why morality-centred solutions which harness the influence of faith institutions are crucial for transformative change and acceleration in individual, community, and international-level responses to the climate crisis.
  4. Podcast: Modern slavery and the climate crisis
    Description
    Amanda is joined by Dr Bethany Jackson and Dr Jess Sparks from the Rights Lab at the University of Nottingham. They dig deep into a discussion on modern slavery within the climate crisis and thus the modern slavery/climate change nexus.
  5. SHORT ARTICLE: Can our grandchildren help us fund the transition to net zero?
    Description
    We are taking rapid steps toward low emission technology. Government subsidies have supported much of this progress. Yet efforts to accelerate the transition face fierce political resistance, with opponents claiming that they would cost too much. Without stronger support, clean technology may arrive too late.
  6. Short article: Children's rights and climate change
    Description
    On 11 October 2021, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child published its decisions in complaints brought against five states – Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany and Turkey – by 16 child complainants. This short article examines that decision.
  7. POLICY PAPER: Addressing Modern Slavery at COP26
    Description
    Achieving the environmental SDGs must address modern slavery, through expanding collaborative action to centre the voices and rights of workers, communities, and survivors of modern slavery at all levels of legislation design and implementation.
  8. SHORT ARTICLE: Enhancing the resilience of smallholder communities in Tanzania
    Description
    These communities are particularly susceptible to chronic hunger, food insecurity, malnutrition and climate change. These problems can be visualised as a vicious circle between small-scale agriculture, rural poverty and climate vulnerability. Breaking this cycle is essential. This short article explores the issue.
  9. POLICY BRIEF: Incentivising reduced industrial emissions
    Description
    Professor Robert McCorquodale explains how legal frameworks around human rights offer a means to incentivise corporate behaviour to protect the climate.
  10. NEWS: Expert reaction to United in Science 2021 climate report
    Description
