Heat isn't foreign to this region, but temperatures are now rising beyond the limits of adaptability. The poorest of the poor will suffer the most - especially farming and fishing communities, says our climate scientist @drfahadsaeed in @guardianeco. theguardian.com/environment/…

As @unfccc, we will be holding people to account – be they Presidents, Prime Ministers or CEOs. Our policies, our businesses, our infrastructure, our actions, must all align with the #ParisAgreement. My signal of change today at the opening of #COP27.

Last week's weather was hot for most people, but it was hotter for residents and workers in certain parts of Worcester. Prof. McCauley explains why this happens & shares ways the city can combat the “urban heat effect.”

Equality is a right not a favour. We must challenge ourselves to do even more and better to ensure that the next generations of our daughters and granddaughters inherit a nation where their aspirations have no limits. #IWD2022
