Seminar hears that adult learners will need higher education for transition into greener jobs

Keri Facer, professor of educational and social futures at the University of Bristol, told delegates at a webinar on sustainability hosted by the Higher Education Policy Institute and Lloyds Bank on 8 June that universities should consider how to help workers switch careers away from carbon-intensive roles.
