20. Adaptation is Survival with Emma Howard Boyd
About this episode
In a moment where a 1.5 to 2 degree world waits on our doorstep, how will we prepare for the inevitable risks of climate change? This week, we sit down with Chair of the Environment Agency, and UK Commissioner for Global Commission on Adaptation, Emma Howard Boyd. She schools us on the difference between adaptation and mitigation, and specifically why adaptation is how humanity will survive climate change by properly addressing the looming dangers ahead.
