The Science of Climate Change
Climate change is no longer a distant threat or just a possibility, it is now a reality for all of us. In this pathway, Kevin Trenberth, a renowned climatologist, delves into the science behind climate change. He first introduces the climate system, its main components and forces.
Tackling the Plastic Crisis
Plastic pollution is by far the biggest threat to our oceans and this remains an incredibly tough problem to solve. Plastic credits could potentially serve as one of the much needed solutions for this crisis.

The Scale of the Net Zero Challenge
The price of meeting net zero is estimated to be between $100-150 trillion over the next 30 years. Regardless of this cost, we need to reach net zero before climate change does irreversible damage to the environment and the economy.
ESG, Sustainability and Impact Jargon Buster

UK Regional Inequality
Adrian Pabst
Deputy Director: National Institute of Economic & Social Research
The purpose of this video is to show how unequal the UK is as a whole, being one of the most economically unbalanced countries out of the OECD’s 38 advanced economies. We will also see what this actually means in practice when it comes to the likes of income, education, health and life expectancy.

UK Regional Inequality
6 mins 43 secs
The United Kingdom is one of the most unequal countries among the world’s advanced economies, with deep disparities of wealth and power between and within the four nations. The only other EU OECD nation more unequal than the UK is Slovakia. The effects of inequalities between and within the nations have significant impacts on income, wealth, education, health and life expectancy.
Key learning objectives:
Outline spatial inequalities in the United Kingdom
Identify the effects spatial inequalities have on the general public

How Unequal is the United Kingdom?
If we compare like-for-like across the OECD’s 38 advanced economies and using over 20 different measures of interregional inequality, the UK is the most unbalanced and unequal country across the largest range of indicators, including disposable income.
Besides disposable income, UK spatial disparities also extend to productivity differentials, which are as high as those for the whole of the Eurozone combined.
What are the Implications of Regional Inequality in the United Kingdom?
There is evidence to show that half the UK population currently lives in areas in which productivity and prosperity levels are no better than the poorer parts of former East Germany outside Berlin.
Interregional inequality is not simply confined to economic outcomes but also extends to other dimensions including, income, wealth, health and life expectancy.
There are patterns of spatial disparities with high productivity cities clustered in a limited number of regions in the south of the country, with towns closest to those high productivity cities benefitting the most.

Good Intentions and Bad Outcomes
Trying to make improvements isn’t as easy. In fact, fixing a problem can occasionally make things worse. But why? The root of the failure is often in missing how parts of a system are connected.

How do the items you use, eat and wear get made? Unfortunately, bad ESG practice in industry supply chains is more likely to be the rule than the exception. In the introductory video of this pathway, Kate Larsen guides us through what a supply chain is and how you can judge the E, the S and the G parts of a supply chain.
