In this episode of The Impact Equation, Rafi is joined by Andy Jordan, Alistair Ford, and Carly McLachlan from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research to explore how interdisciplinary research can help accelerate climate action. Celebrating 25 years of the centre, they discuss the importance of connecting climate science with policymaking, practical solutions, and collaboration across sectors. Andy shares how Tyndall’s research has helped shape the UK’s approach to decarbonisation and climate policy, while Alistair explains the growing challenges of climate adaptation, from extreme heat and flooding to building more resilient cities and transport systems. Carly highlights how partnerships with Massive Attack and local authorities are helping transform the live music and events industries through low-carbon innovation, as well as supporting Greater Manchester’s decarbonisation ambitions. The conversation also explores how climate solutions can deliver wider benefits for public health, communities, and economic prosperity. Despite the seriousness of the climate crisis, the guests share why they remain hopeful and emphasise the need to turn research into action, scale successful solutions, and keep climate change part of everyday conversations.
