Cheers Mat Please join us for a webinar to launch the new ESRC-funded Centre for Joined-Up Sustainability Transformations (JUST). Tuesday 15 July, 2025 - 14.00-15.00 BST (UTC+1). Details below. Eventbrite registration required: Sign up to attend here<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/international-launch-of-the-just-centre-joining-up-for-a-just-future-tickets-1400005567339?aff=oddtdtcreator&_gl=1%2Aqcy7ts%2A_up%2AMQ..%2A_ga%2AMTU0NDc4OTgzOC4xNzUwMzU4NTIx%2A_ga_TQVES5V6SH%2AczE3NTAzNTg1MjEkbzEkZzAkdDE3NTAzNTg1MjEkajYwJGwwJGgw&keep_tld=1> [image (8).png] Joining up for just outcomes: an agenda for research and action on sustainability transformations The JUST Centre puts justice at the heart of sustainability transformations: the Centre’s ambition is to support a fair transition to net zero by transforming the processes and structures that leave many people and places out of the Low Carbon Living agenda. The Centre is accelerating research-informed action that engages, enables and empowers marginalised people, to develop methods, tools and strategies for thinking and action on sustainability. By ‘marginalised’ we mean those facing socio-economic, infrastructural, geographical and political inequalities that inhibit their participation in climate mitigation and adaptation, while also increasing their vulnerability to climate change impacts. ‘Joined-up’ means bridging the gaps between myriad, but presently disconnected, evidence bases, interventions and policies focused on sustainability and net zero transitions. By connecting sustainability with justice, research with action, and constituent knowledge producers and community beneficiaries with one another, JUST will advance the shared evidence base and accelerate the capacity for action towards sustainable futures for all places and communities. Join us for a webinar featuring keynote remarks by Julian Agyeman<https://julianagyeman.com/>, an internationally-recognised leader in the transdisciplinary field of environmental social science who developed the concept of ‘just sustainabilities’ 25 years ago. This concept, and the work it has inspired, has been influential to the JUST Centre’s vision. A panel of three JUST Centre co-investigators, Rebecca Willis<https://www.rebeccawillis.co.uk/>, Stefan Bouzarovski<https://research.manchester.ac.uk/en/persons/stefan.bouzarovski> and Lucie Middlemiss<https://environment.leeds.ac.uk/see/staff/1422/professor-lucie-middlemiss> will join Julian in conversation about the history of just sustainabilities research and how we can mobilise it in the current context to shape JUST Centre’s research agenda. Broad themes include challenges of engaged, place-based research using mixed methods and challenges of democratic participation in the context of current political climates in the UK and beyond. The webinar will be chaired by JUST’s Director Sherilyn MacGregor<https://research.manchester.ac.uk/en/persons/sherilyn.macgregor>.
