Climate adaptation policy and social inequality in South Yorkshire

This PhD asks how social inequalities affect, and are affected by, policies and initiatives of climate adaptation in the UK. The research project will catalogue, explore, and conceptualise the different inequalities which are posed by climate change, and build upon existing related scholarship. It seeks to address the current paucity in research on local and regional adaptation approaches to climate adaptation in the context of increasing policy salience of flood risk and heat stress.
