The futures we imagine are the futures we get

We discuss the impacts, adaptation, and vulnerabilities related to climate change, and implications for policymakers with two of the Lead Authors of the Working Group II report to the IPCC’s Assessment Report 6.

This episode was recorded prior to the release of Working Group III's report on mitigation in early April. Working Group II's report, and the focus of this episode, was released in March.

The clip beginning the episode is 350 Pacific Climate Warriors council of elder's member Brianna Fruean, speaking on what the IPCC’s Working Group II report means for Pacific people. The full interview is available through Radio New Zealand.
