Really energising and thoughtful discussion from a wide range of perspectives - thanks to our Climate Research Network colleagues.
A city skyline silhouetted against an intense orange sky, with the sun blazing through heat haze and construction cranes visible. The image includes text reading: “Global population living with extreme heat to double by 2050 – University of Oxford.”
