Climate Question : How can we adapt to climate change?

Coffee won't help us adapt but just in case: https://buymeacoffee.com/theclimatealarm

We talk a lot about mitigating climate change by reducing emissions, but do we need to face up to figuring out how to adapt to the changes that we know are coming? Ciara, Anna and Darragh discuss climate adaptation, asking the tough questions about how we can adapt and whether we can. And what we need to deal with -- food insecurity, flooding, extreme weather...

Ciara asks how the big orange slug in Galway city is helping us adapt. We look at infrastructure, behaviour, politics and all the systems affecting adaptation.

We conclude that we need to continue to face up to the tough questions and that building community is the key.
