As climate change intensifies, we are now seeing cascading and compounding impacts and risks, including where extreme events coincide.
There’s no doubt that we’re seeing an increased frequency of catastrophic events around the world. But concerted, aggressive action needs to happen now to reduce the impacts and help avert catastrophe.
What can we do? Don’t give up.

Are you one of the increasingly large number of people seeking to minimise the environmental damage wrought when producing the food you eat?
