Climate Impacts: Bristol and Beyond
In this talk, Daniela and Joe from the University of Bristol will show the impacts of climate change on Bristol and other parts of the world where communities are highly vulnerable to climate change. They will provide a context of current climate impacts, future risks and ways of working together to reduce vulnerabilities.
