The massive heatwave felt all around the world has been a focus of concern as rising temperatures are causing more and more extreme weather events. Experts with the UN’s World Meteorological Organization warn that these events will continue to grow in intensity and frequency… and the world needs to prepare. How has climate change fueled extreme weather in recent years? What is being done to stop it? And what will happen if we exceed the temperature threshold? To help us answer these questions and more, we are joined by Wu Changhua, CEO of Beijing Future Innovation Center, Isabel Hilton, founder of China Dialogue, and Ashley Ward, director of Heat Policy Innovation Hub of Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions of Duke University.
