Translating the impact of climate change into a human scale can be hard. We need to look at the hyper-local impacts for solutions. Sweltering Cities is changing the story of heatwaves in Australia to recognise that they're the deadliest environmental disaster.
Join Emma Bacon, founder of Sweltering Cities, an organisation that tackles the problems of climate change, health and inequality together.
