Listen "Arctic Heat"
Episode Synopsis
The Arctic is warming nearly four times faster than the rest of the planet, serving as a critical climate indicator. The 2023 Arctic Report Card documented the hottest summer in centuries, with severe impacts like wildfires, ice melt, and high sea temperatures, trends continuing in 2024.

Tero Mustonen, a Finnish environmental leader, scientist, fisherman and Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize recipient, is dedicated to these efforts. Fresh from the Arctic, he provides a rare firsthand account.
