The Energy and Sustainable Cities GRP ‘Global Challenges, Local Solutions’ Seminar Series seeks to answer the UN’s recent call to ‘act local to go global’, understanding ‘local’ action with a global outlook as the fundamental first step in addressing global challenges.

The ‘Global Challenges’ covered in this event series range from: the need for a rapid, just and equitable energy transition in the context of climate and ecological emergency, including innovation in governance and technology; to the present and future of sustainable cities, including urban risk and resilience, and economic, environmental and socio-cultural sustainability. The ‘Global Challenges, Local Solutions’ framework is underpinned by a firm belief that addressing and solving the biggest global problems requires a transdisciplinary approach, crossing the disciplinary boundaries of academia and reaching out to co-create research and problem-solve with non-academic stakeholders across the region.
