Can we adapt to a changing climate?

Chaired by journalist and former Climate Change Editor at Nature, Dr Gabrielle Walker, this discussion explores stories of climate adaptation from humanity’s past, and the importance of adaptation in the future. The panelists include environmental journalist, broadcaster and former online editor of New Scientist, Gaia Vince, polar and paleoclimate expert Professor Eric Wolff FRS and archaeologist of Alaskan Indigenous sites Dr Rick Knecht.
