Forecasting our Future: A conversation with Dr Katharine Hayhoe

Increasingly, the impacts of climate change are never far from the headlines. Calls for climate action are getting steadily louder but global alignment is far from a reality. How will climate change affect the places we call home, now and in the future? Against a backdrop of international (dis)agreement, how might local action contribute to broader transformational change? Watch this recording of award-winning climate scientist, Dr Katharine Hayhoe, discussing how best to prepare for the risks posed by climate change, and how to translate climate science into actionable planning for resilience at the local scale.
