Climate Responses: Understanding Emerging Complex Risks

Listen "Climate Responses: Understanding Emerging Complex Risks"

Episode Synopsis

This podcast outlines the latest understanding on complex climate change risk, included how our responses to climate change can increase current and future risks. It covers the escalating climate change risks, the current state and limitations of adaptation efforts, the complex nature of transboundary impacts, and the implications for global sustainable development and climate response.
It is based on the following research from the Climate Risk Lab:
