Sustainable Communities in Transition: Equity Impacts on Groups with Protected Characteristics

Event Date: 17 December 2025

Speaker: Christian Calvillo Munoz, Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Energy Policy.

Time: 12-2pm  

Location: Level 8, Strath Union, University of Strathclyde, 51 Richmond Street

At this event organised by Strathclyde Institute for Sustainable Communities (SISC), Christian will be speaking about his secondment with the UK Climate Change Committee, focusing on both the experience itself and the research he undertook during that time. The work explored the impacts of the transition on groups with protected characteristics, highlighting how these intersect with issues of equity and inclusion. The findings also have clear links to the development of sustainable communities, emphasising the importance of ensuring that the transition is fair and benefits everyone.

The room will be open from 12-2pm to allow for attendees who would like to bring their own lunch/tea and coffee and for informal networking before and after the seminar (12-12:30pm and 1:30-2pm).

This event is the latest in the SISC seminar series, which brings together researchers, practitioners, and community leaders to explore bold ideas for building more inclusive, resilient and sustainable communities
