Climate change is in your face today, whether you like it or not.

It’s hard to read the news, attend a conference, or even have a casual chat without it coming up. The realities are hitting home — and now the science is catching up with what many have already experienced.

And yet, despite this growing awareness, we’re still not acting with the urgency the situation demands.

Many organisations are putting off action on climate change on the basis that the impacts are unforeseeable or that its really hard to know what the future might hold.

My view is that if you put in the work to understand your relationship with the climate and the aspects of our economy that contribute to climate change the impacts start to become foreseeable.
