When we think of the climate crisis and actions needed to live sustainably, we are often inclined to think of new technologies and scientific alternatives.
And whilst these are of course part of the fight, the climate crisis is a human problem and therefore can only be tackled with human solutions.
The faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Sheffield demonstrates the vital role the humanities play in shaping a sustainable future.
