    Gender, climate and knowledge: Timely information for women in crisis

    In this three-part podcast special, you will hear leading researchers explore the important intersection of gender, climate, and knowledge. Recorded at the Gender and Development Conference at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in June 2025, in Norwich, UK, these conversations bring together insights from across the world. Across Nigeria and Bangladesh, rural women are at the frontline of climate impacts: facing droughts, floods, and tidal surges that threaten their crops, livelihoods, and households. In our third and final episode, PhD researcher Jahin Shams Sakkhar and Dr Helen Teghtegh discuss how providing women with timely, understandable climate information empowers them to take action and protect their communities. From translating forecasts into local languages to designing gender-responsive insurance schemes, these projects ensure women have the knowledge to make critical decisions. Equipping women with climate information is a form of resilience and climate action that safeguards families, farms, and futures.  With thanks to CLARE, a UK-Canada framework research programme on Climate Adaptation and Resilience, for facilitating participation in the conference.

    Gender, climate and knowledge: Women's knowledge, climate action

    In this three-part podcast special, you will hear leading researchers explore the important intersection of gender, climate, and knowledge. Recorded at the Gender and Development Conference at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in June 2025, in Norwich, UK, these conversations bring together insights from across the world. Women's everyday knowledge - from farming and water management to food preservation - offers powerful insights for climate adaptation. In our second episode, Dr Reetika Subramanian talks with researchers and practitioners about why these often-overlooked strategies are crucial for effective climate action. We explore tools such as photo voice, where women document their own experiences and influence policy. By bridging lived, local knowledge with scientific research, this episode shows how empowering women is central to building resilient communities.  With thanks to CLARE, a UK-Canada framework research programme on Climate Adaptation and Resilience, for facilitating participation in the conference.

    Gender, climate and knowledge: Community adaptation through a gender lens

    In this three-part podcast special, you will hear leading researchers explore the important intersection of gender, climate, and knowledge. Recorded at the Gender and Development Conference at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in June 2025, in Norwich, UK, these conversations bring together insights from across the world. How do communities on the frontlines of climate change adapt, and who benefits most? In this episode, we hear from early career researchers working on community-led projects in Bangladesh and Indonesia, exploring how women and men experience climate risks differently. From local forecasting tools to coral reef resilience, these researchers reveal the gaps between gender-sensitive policies and what actually happens on the ground, and why co-creating solutions with communities is essential for effective adaptation. They share practical recommendations for making climate adaptation policies more inclusive, intersectional, and effective for both men and women.  With thanks to CLARE, a UK-Canada framework research programme on Climate Adaptation and Resilience, for facilitating participation in the conference.

    Be a climate ambassador!

    Our episode is about the Climate Ambassador Scheme. The Climate Ambassador Scheme provides nurseries, schools and colleges across England with free access to local experts who can help turn their climate and sustainability ambitions into action. Volunteer experts from across England are wanted to support the roll-out of the scheme, which, in the first two years, aims to support 2,500 education settings on their sustainability journey. Regional hubs have been set up so that experts can be matched with educational settings in their area. The East of England Climate Ambassador hub will be coordinated by UEA and led by the Tyndall Centre. Anyone interested in becoming a Climate Ambassador can sign up to the scheme now, to be provided with free training and support, and be matched to a local nursery, school or college that needs help building a climate action plan. All Climate Ambassadors will be supported by a national network of regional hubs, based at organisations with a strong commitment to sustainability and climate action. Today we will speak with Kit Marie Rackley, the Schools Climate Hub coordinator in the East of England to learn more about how to become a climate ambassador.

    Art, Climate Change, and Community Engagement

    This episode is about art, climate change, and community engagement. In this episode we will talk to a panel from the Sainsbury Centre and Norwich University of the Arts to share experiences and insights from their recent event, “Going to Meet the Sea”. We will talk about understanding the role of the arts in communicating the impacts of climate change, preparing for adaptation, and building resilience within communities. How does the act of walking deepen our connection and awareness of the environment that surrounds us? Can art serve as both a record and a journey? How can heightened attention and mindfulness towards our environment alter and enrich our understanding of the complex ecosystem of the natural world? Prompted by these intriguing questions, the Sainsbury Centre, in partnership with Norwich University of the Arts embarked on a project entitled "Going to Meet the Sea - Art Talks to Climate Change" last February.  This pioneering event, inspired by the "Walking as Research" concept, featured a coastal walk in Great Yarmouth to spotlight the urgent issue of climate change and the accelerating erosion of Norfolk's coastlines. Facing an annual reduction of 0.4 to 2 metres, Norfolk's coastline is predicted to meet further challenges due to climate change. This initiative aimed to explore the rich mosaic of the region's landscape, which includes wetland habitats, farmland, towns, and historic features, through visual experiences, chance encounters, and in-depth conversations. Our guests for this episode are Jago Cooper and Ken Paranada from the Sainsbury Centre and Louis Nixon and Candice Allison from the Norwich University of the Arts. Music by BenSound

    The science, politics, and communications of 1.5C

    Our episode will talk about 1.5C – what it means science wise, policy wise,  and communications wise. 1.5C has been one of the most recognised numbers when we talk about climate change. Where did this number come from? The goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels is a key aspect of international efforts to address climate change. This target is central to the Paris Agreement. 1.5C has actually been the rallying call of the alliance of small islands states (also called the AOSIS group), backed by scientific evidence from research by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. AOSIS argued that 1.5C would be the safe limit for their countries. In a 1.5C world, many of the deadliest effects of climate change are reduced, especially for small islands and low-lying nations threatened by rising sea levels and storms. In Paris at COP21, 106 countries supported the 1.5C limit, allowing it to be part of the Paris Agreement. But there has been a lot of discussion about 1.5C in the last months – especially with reports coming out that the global average temperature has breached the target. Last year, 2023, was the hottest year globally since records began in 1850, and 2024 might be warmer, because of periodic influencing by El Nino warming. So it perhaps seems improbable that 1.5C is an achievable target. What does it mean when we breach the 1.5C target? In this episode, we have Asher Minns, Executive Director of the Tyndall Centre and Manoj Joshi, Professor of Climate Dynamics at the School of Environmental Sciences at the UEA. Music by Ben Sound

    How can we reduce shipping emissions?

    Our episode today is about shipping and its impact on climate change. In today’s episode, we will talk about some of the work by colleagues from the Tyndall Centre at Manchester University including the International Maritime Organisation's - the IMO’s in short - new shipping and climate strategy, technology like wind ships and electrification of ships, as well as the demand side of shipping. International shipping emits around 700 million tonnes of CO2 a year, equivalent to emissions from Germany. So the sector is a major contributor to climate change. The IMO  is the United Nations specialised agency with responsibility for the safety and security of shipping and the prevention of marine and atmospheric pollution by ships. Last year, the IMO set out a new strategy that “includes an enhanced common ambition to reach net-zero GHG emissions from international shipping by or around, i.e. close to, 2050.” Is this new strategy enough? And what solutions are there? Today we speak with Alice Larkin, Chris Jones, James Mason, and Simon Bullock from the University of Manchester – who all research shipping emissions. Alice is a Professor of Climate Science and Energy Policy in Tyndall Manchester, where she has worked since 2003 on various aspects of decarbonising international aviation and later shipping. Chris is the knowledge exchange fellow for Tyndall Manchester, connecting research expertise in the group to industry, government and civil society stakeholders. James is a data scientist at Smart Green Shipping and visiting academic at Tyndall Manchester. He develops ship routing software that harnesses weather optimisation for ships using modern day sail technology. Simon is a research associate at Tyndall Manchester, focussing on shipping and climate change.  Music by Ben Sound

    What exactly is unabated emissions and do we really need a fossil fuel phase-out?

    Our episode today is about one of the most controversial topics at COP28 – abated fossil fuels through carbon capture storage technology. At COP28, COP president Sultan Al Jaber claimed there is no science behind fossil fuel phaseout. At a press conference, IPCC chair Jim Skea said that in 1.5C-compatible scenarios “by 2050, fossil fuel use is greatly reduced and unabated coal use is completely phased out.” He added that oil use by 2050 is reduced by 60% and gas by 45%. According to Jim Skea, Al Jaber was “attentive to the science” and “fully understood it”. Understandably, this has caused some confusion about what abated/unabated fossil fuels.  So, what is abated/unabated fossil fuel and what is the role of CCS and CDR in all of this? Our guests today are Harry Smith and Nem Vaughan. Harry Smith is a PhD Researcher on the climate governance of carbon dioxide removal, and part of the Critical Decade for Climate Change Programme with the Leverhulme Trust at UEA. Dr. Nem Vaughan is an Associate Professor of Climate Change whose research is focussed on carbon dioxide removal and its role in mitigating climate change. Music by Ben Sound
