Sustainability and environments How we are exploring issues of climate through the arts, humanities and law
Across the University of Birmingham, our academics are exploring ways to mitigate and adapt to the risks and impacts associated with climate change. In the College of Arts and Law our teaching and research address the challenges of environmental regulation, understanding what environmental history and religious attitudes to climate science can teach us, and exploring how we interpret and respond to our changing climate through literature, music and performance.
