Just Transitions in Coastal and Maritime Communities
The topic of Just Transitions in Coastal and Maritime Communities will focus on the role of community consultation and involvement in (i) developing legislation; and (ii) managing adaptation once legislation is in place. We will finish the day with a Roundtable event and discussions about how to further collaborative research and how this research may contribute to government policy in this area.
The event will tale place at the Mazumdar-Shaw Advanced Research Centre, University of Glasgow,11 Chapel Lane, Glasgow G11 6EW

Roundtable questions for panellists and open discussion:
Can you provide a relatively brief definition of what the term Just Transitions means to you?
Does a Just Transition necessarily mean a transition from extractive industries in coastal and maritime communities or can it mean a transition to new ways of engaging in these activities?
Can you see local communities’ lived experience of their environment and largescale scientific research being usefully combined in planning future legislation in coastal and maritime communities?
How can local knowledge and scientific research be combined in delivering local management plans?
How can the Scottish Government work with and consult with communities to enable a just transition to greater sustainability in the marine and coastal environment?
To conclude, are there difficulties in communication between local communities, scientists and legislators? If so, how might these be resolved?
Breaking Communication Barriers in Sustainability
University of Glasgow 27th June, 2024
If you are interested, or for more details, contact Tom Bartlett tom.bartlett@glasgow.ac.uk or Michael Farrelly m.farrelly@hull.ac.uk
University of Glasgow

The ‘Breaking the communication barrier in sustainability’ day identifies communication barriers that we face in our work on sustainability. Across three sessions, participants identify a problem they face, and we identify potential research-based solutions.
The aim is to develop collaborative projects between stakeholders and academics which can analyse communicative barriers and formulate better communicative strategies.
We invite practitioners to take part in a day-long session on practice-based research to work with academics in setting an agenda for collaborative research projects.
0900-1030 Session 1 - Communication barriers (roundtable)
In this informal roundtable, we introduce ourselves to each other. The aim is to introduce participants and the communicative barriers they face in their work in sustainability.
Having circulated four questions in advance, we ask participants to speak to the roundtable (in less than 5 minutes):
- Who are you and what do you do?
- What sustainability projects are you involved in?
- Who do you work with?
- What sustainability scenarios do you typically work in?
- Can you tell us a short story about a communication problem or misunderstanding in your sustainability project?
1030-1100 Coffee break
1100-1230 Session 2 - Language expertise (academic presentations)
In three presentations language experts from the Universities of Glasgow, Southampton and Hull present examples of the kind of work they have been involved in on language and communication. The aim is to spark ideas for potential research projects with practitioners.
Communicating ideas - Michael Farrelly (University of Hull)
Language is how we communicate ideas; the way we use language affects the way we understand those ideas. Giving examples from projects with DEFRA, local government and industry, this presentation shows how language analysis can identify issues with how ideas are communicated.
Communicating across scales – Michael Kranert (University of Southampton)
Policy making happens at different levels: Whether it is supranational, national, regional or local. However, these levels do not always line up neatly: They develop ideas at different levels of abstraction, often ignoring more local expertise. I can demonstrate how that happens – but would like your expertise to find out how to change that!
Working with communities – Tom Bartlett (University of Glasgow)
In Tom's presentation he'll talk about the different perspectives adopted by local communities and policymakers when discussing resource management and environmental risk. He will give some examples from the Hebrides and from Guyana to open up a discussion about public consultation and local management and the need for policy makers to understand community concerns and for community members to express their interests in ways that gain traction with policy makers.
1230-1330 Break for lunch
1330-1500 Session 3 - Capacities, Capabilities and Collaborative Opportunities (world cafe)
In this session we drill down into the details of our collaborative opportunities.
- What capacity do you and your organisation have for collaborating on a research project?
- What capabilities can you bring? Do you not have?
- What do you need to collaborate on?
- What communicative expertise would you need?
- What are the next steps?
1500-1530 Coffee break
1530-1600 Wrap-up and next steps
