A NEW £5 million centre, involving researchers from the University of York, will explore how we can best tackle climate change.
The Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations (CAST) will work closely with the public, industry and government to establish what lifestyle changes are needed to cut carbon emissions.
CAST, which has its main hub in Cardiff, is a collaboration between the universities of York, Cardiff, Manchester and East Anglia, and has been funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and charity Climate Outreach.
Professor Hilary Graham, from the department of health sciences at UoY, said: "Public concern about climate change is growing, and rightly so.
"CAST will turn the spotlight on how to mobilise action at every level of society to address the biggest challenge of the 21st century."
