Why adapting to climate change is becoming more urgent

COP27 has kicked off in Egypt, and adaptation is high on the agenda. In the second episode of our series covering the conference, we explore how to step up global efforts to adapt to a changing climate. Edward McBride, The Economists briefings editor, travels to Iraq to investigate how a hotter world is affecting the way people live. Adeline Stuart-Watt, an adaptation policy fellow at the London School of Economics and Political Science, explains how to implement and finance climate-resilient projects. Alok Jha hosts with Catherine Brahic, The Economists environment editor, and Vijay Vaitheeswaran, our global energy and climate innovation editor.
