Climathons are solutions-focussed workshops designed to bring rural communities and stakeholders together to address climate change. Climathons were first developed by Climate KIC.
This module explores the Climathon methodology, and its application in rural areas, showcasing past events in the South West and North East of England.

I am a Research Associate in Rural Innovation at NICRE, engaging with our partners to help deliver and evaluate our practical innovation projects with communities and businesses in the North East.
The projects include topics such as lower carbon food business logistics, innovation in agriculture, net zero transitions in community spaces, redevelopment of rural buildings and community-led housing. My work involves community and stakeholder engagement, the planning and delivery of events, and primary research through surveys, interviews, observations and workshops.
My main research interests are innovations in food, agriculture and technology, and their social and policy implications. I have completed a PhD in Sociology which explored stakeholder views on the future of synthetic biology in UK food and agriculture and how this might affect or be affected by food policy. I also have experience researching rural food poverty interventions in and around my home town of Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.
