Webinar: Where should we put our energy (transition)?

JUST (Centre for Joined-Up Sustainability Transformations) is an ESRC research centre dedicated to advancing sustainability transformations that are people-centred, joined-up and socially just.

In this webinar we will introduce our web-based mapping tool, designed to assess the readiness of different places and communities across the UK to undergo climate adaptation and/or just transition.

About the readiness tool:

• Integrates robust, trusted and open data layers from sources including the 2021 UK Census, 2025 Indices of Multiple Deprivation and Understanding Society.
• Enables exploration of how people live, travel, consume, work and spend leisure time, alongside data on vulnerabilities and attitudes to change.
• Offers a unique ‘hot spot’ perspective to identify neighbourhoods where support for transition should be prioritised.

Attendees will:

• Learn about the readiness tool’s new functionality, development and future impact.
• Understand how policymakers, local organisations and climate actors can use it to prepare for or drive transition.
• Have the opportunity to provide feedback and help refine the tool before its full launch.

Be among the first to explore this innovative resource and help shape a tool to support communities in achieving fair and effective climate transitions.
