In order to strive towards living sustainably, future fundamental change will be required. Some of it will directly affect individuals in terms of their living, working and transport choices. Some of that challenge lies with local communities and governments seeking to promote and implement green agendas. And in order to secure fundamental change, our academics have been working with local communities and governments to affect positive change including sustainable transport options, health care access and civic engagement with arts and heritage.
