2026 extreme weather: How can we adapt to a new climate reality?

Around the globe, extreme heat, floods and wildfires are turning climate risks into economic shocks, disrupting food chains and global finance. Why do climate promises lag behind real action?

Guests in this edition of Dialogue are Lisa Sachs, director of the Columbia Center for Sustainable Investment and associate professor at the Columbia Climate School; Wu Changhua, president of Global Climate Academy; Swenja Surminski, professor in practice at the Grantham Research Institute at LSE, and managing director for Climate and Sustainability at Marsh McLennan.
