As global temperatures continue to rise, heatwaves, wildfires, droughts, floods, and storms are becoming more numerous, lasting longer, and affecting places that were never built to withstand them. Understandably, many people feel unsettled by this growing uncertainty - but are these disasters inevitable?
Join Dr Russell Moul as he talks to Dr Samantha Montano, a disasterologist and emergency management expert, about the ways in which disasters are changing and how societies respond to them.
They discuss who is most at risk, how climate change is reshaping planning and preparedness, why Hollywood so often gets human responses to disasters wrong, and how we can all adapt to extremes that are becoming part of the background rather than the exception.
