Tackling climate change while improving human wellbeing

 

Tackling climate change while improving human wellbeing

07 Mar 2024 Hamish Johnston

Environmental challenges like climate change are forcing us to rethink how we live in cities. This provides humanity with an important opportunity to develop new policies that also improve the overall wellbeing of urban dwellers.

Our guest in this episode of Physics World Weekly podcast is Radhika Khosla – who is an urban climatologist based at the Oxford Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment at the UK’s University of Oxford. She points out that extreme heat is proving to be the most deadly consequence of climate change and talks about the need to develop and implement cooling technologies that do not boost greenhouse gas emissions.

Khosla explains why the rapid urbanization of India offers opportunities to develop environmental policies that improve people’s lives. She also talks about her plans for the journal Environmental Research Letters, where she has recently become editor-in-chief.
