Climate change is a threat multiplier – disrupting ways of life, threatening food sources, and fundamentally changing the environment in which we live. In this episode we explore the potential impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities, from increased migratory and conflict pressures to the unique relationship between Indigenous populations and nature. Sarah Nelson is joined by three of the team from Oxford Economics who have been working to understand the profound social implications of these factors, Shilpita Mathews, Beatrice Tanjanco, and Ilana Gottlieb.
