CAST is a global hub for understanding the systemic and society-wide transformations that are required to address climate change. We research and develop the social transformations needed to produce a low-carbon and sustainable society; at the core of our work is a fundamental question of enormous social significance: How can we as a society live differently – and better – in ways that meet the urgent need for rapid and far-reaching emission reductions? Based at the University of Bath, our additional core partners are Cardiff University, University of Manchester, University of York, of East Anglia and the Oxford-based charity Climate Outreach. We are funded by the ESRC.
