Delta cities in both rich and poor countries face uphill, and potentially costly, battle in containing risk from flooding.
Air conditioning alone won’t make global warming more bearable – architects must reinvent the window.
The wine industry is sensitive to climate change, but grape growers also have the funding and knowledge to put themselves at the forefront of climate adaptation. Other farmers should watch with interest.
